If I open certain projects, VA seems to get stuck in a parsing loop. It will keep accessing the disk, the IDE is unresponsive (VC6), and the memory in use by MSDEV continues to climb until all available physical and virtual memory are used up. It doesn't happen in all projects, but seems to happen in projects I haven't opened in a while. Any ideas why this might happen?

Here is the version info:
VA_X.dll file version 10.3.1535.0 built 2006.09.15

Are these projects on a network drive, or do they reference any files on a network drive?

A bug where VA could get stuck in an infinite loop for #include lines pointing at //server/file_name.h paths. This has been fixed, but it is possible it is present in VA 1535.

Can you try downloading and running our latest version, it should run in trial mode for 3 days, which should be long enough to see if the problem has been fixed:

All files are on a local disk - none are on a network.
I changed my vc include headers and the project opened ok. When I changed them, I restarted VC6, then went into the VA settings and clicked "Rebuild Symbol Databases". I then restarted VC again as the message instructed. After doing that, projects opened OK.

I then put the VC include directories back as they were when the problem occurred, and rebuilt the symbols again in VA. The projects still open OK. If the problem returns, I will try turning the lasted build.

Thanks,
Brian
