Ok guys, unfortunately another issue with v26.1, this time not so serious but still annoying.

This one happens inside the Disk Meter logic of the Winstep Service and was very, very, difficult and time consuming to troubleshoot, especially because it isn't even a logic error. The code should work, but because of a weird coercion issue it does not and overflows instead.

So, this will only happen after about 24.86 days of system uptime. At that point collecting SMART data for the Disk Meter module will fail and nothing will bring it back until you reboot the system (or until the next release, of course, since I already fixed it here).

It is also possible for the service to crash after those 24.86 days, but if that happens you should be able to restart it again without issues other than SMART data collection not working until you reboot.

Err, how many people run Windows for 24+ continuous days!? Very rarely have ever run Windows for more than *one* full day here. :D

Here's another quote from the ancient past. I can't believe these are 50+ years old. You might have to create a new forum category labeled Geriatrics for some of us. :)
