Huge crash reports!

As no one responded to it in the bgee bugs section, here goes my question here:

"For the fIrst time my BGEE has crashed, leaving a 'dump.2011.0000.dmp' file in the Crash directory weighing 300 megs. Am I supposed to send this suspiciously heavy crash report somewhere?"

For now, I've experienced two crashes already. Both have generated two crash reports, weighing in total 600 Mb (six hundred megabytes). Is it really intended to be, and what am I supposed to do with them?

I suggest you summon people, as this is pretty curious. Just use @ followed by the username. avenger_teambg would be my first guess, then jalilly or camdawg. I don't really know who is responsible for what, exactly. Jalilly seems like she handles the text stuff, while Avenger_teambg seems to knock out most of the coding stuff.

Normally, avenger_teambg would get to your post eventually (which is why I've never summoned him), even if it's a couple of weeks later, but I figure you might be itching to delete those .dmps, especially if they keep building up. I'm sure someone would like to take a look at them before you delete them.

Oh finally, thanks for responding

@avenger_teambg
You mean that's enough to summon him?

That's why I don't delete these files. If needed, I can send them over via sendspace or similar file sharing service.

Well, i cannot handle these large files, earlier they were just 5-10M which i could send to the devs.
But these large files are not fitting into any mail.
I will try to ping someone higher in the food chain.

Thanks for responding. Just in case, I can send you a download link to these files. Please let me know.

I've been having people use dropbox or something similar. They should be somewhat smaller dmp files in the next patch, depending on how much information the developers need.
