# 3461 Optimizing a Table Can Result in a Hard Loop and Lockup

---

I recently switched from Delphi 2007 to XE and DBISAM 4.29 Build 3 to 4.30 Build 5.

Now I get an infinite loop using OptimizeTable (with my app and with your Database System Utility). During optimization a new file (55040.dat) will be generated by your engine. This file grows and grows, up to several GB. The original file is only 30 MB.

The problem occurs only with one table. This table has 114 fields (including some BLOB fields) and more than 10000 records. The table seems to be ok and I tested it with a new created table (with the imported data from the old table).
