NBTExplorer was basically unusable due to numerous, varied crashes, attached here: https://gist.github.com/alexchandel/24cc3383bd0400934dc34edde3b4d299

Any idea what the deal is with "Z:.dbfseventsd"?

alexchandel commented

It's a named pipe that one of my drivers stuck in the filesystem. It doesn't seem to be a file, so file operations will probably do unexpected things on it.

I'm pretty sure I've seen .dbfseventsd files in the junk a mac produces on memory sticks, and on wine the "Z:" drive is the root filesystem of the host OS.
However unlikely, are you trying to run this on a Linux Distro under Wine?

alexchandel commented

Nope but close, Wine on OSX.

The file isn't from OSX but Dropbox. The Dropbox client creates a unix socket called .dbfseventsd in the root folder. I guess a buggy Dropbox client might create one in a mounted flash drive.

However, given that the crash is because NBTExplorer trying to read a unix socket (basically a named pipe), the same error could definitely happen on Wine on Linux.
