[ExtractStream] Released: TyTool alpha #1.

[Don Starr]

It's a call to wvsprintf (in USER32.DLL) from TyTool.exe offset
0x00405168. It's the SECOND call from this location in TyTool. The
first call passes "Ready...<cr><lf>" as the format string. The second
call passes NULL as the format string.

. . . time passes . . .

After a little more investigation, it appears there's a function like
the following:

void func( HWND wnd, const char *fmtString, ... )
{
char buffer[1024];
int len = SendMessage( wnd, WM_GETTEXTLENGTH, WPARAM(0),
LPARAM(0) );
va_list args;
va_start( args, fmtString );
wvsprintf( buffer, fmtString, args );
SendMessage( wnd, EM_SETSEL, WPARAM(len), LPARAM(0xFF) );
SendMessage( wnd, EM_REPLACESEL, 0, buffer );
va_end( args );
}

This function is called twice. In both cases, the HWND is an edit
control in the "Tivo Client" dialog. The first call passes
"Ready...<cr><lf>" in <fmtString>. The second call passes NULL,
blowing up wvsprintf().

The edit control is the read-only, multiline control with ID 1005.

On my Windows2000 system it IMMEDIATELY crashes.

Unhandled exception in USER32.DLL Access Violation
...

The actual death is inside of sprintf (wvsprintfA to be very precise)
but I don't have the source like that was called just before then.

IF you ship the .pdb & .dbg symbols I can tell you more precisely
where
in your code it blew up. I'm a relativ newb with WinDbg but gdb is a
good old friend of mine. So I can work my way around this... Lemme
know.
