I also don't remember if you need to specify a seek algorithm. There are built-in ones, but by default you might just get the "do nothing" one. Unfortunately, I don't...

Corrupt STDFs are really a test vendor hardware/software issue or a local infrastructure problem (bad file copies, etc.). IMO, there's not really a good excuse for that kind of problem...

Cool. I'm happy to sign their NDA as well. Alternatively, you could hire me as a consultant. :) I'm willing to help and open to creative options. In the meantime,...
