Infinite loop wmsmpeg.exe

Just reporting a problem I came across today. I am still using 0.72 which works great with my Sony W5500.

1. Today I was going to watch Lost.S06E16.720p.HDTV.x264-CTU.mkv (file Size: 1.09 GB), but it was too fresh for the db/index, so I went into the menus from the TV, and chose
2. Service > Scan folders (refresh is usually not sufficient). This process took a lot longer than usual, and then it said "no contact with server".
3. The pc was however still connected to the network, and still online, for instance irc was working without problems. I therefore
4. restarted the WMS-server (which is configed as system service) using the "restart" button in the GUI, went back to the TV and
5. re-entered the WMS-menus, now the file showed up and WMS delivered as usual (excellent! played it through "watch folders", AKA no transcoding AFAIK)

6. Later today I see a message about my harddrive being full, I tracked this down to a file under
"C:\Documents and Settings\LocalService\Local Settings\Application Data\Wild Media Server\WMSSVC\Temp\"
It was an .mpg which had already reached 30GB and was still increasing.
7. I tried to delete it, and it was locked to a wmsmpeg handle, see screenshot. So the only file I accessed through WMS today was that file of total 1GB size, yet it still caches > 30GB.

Look into it if you want. My problem is already solved, but I felt I should report it since I have enjoyed WMS for free for a few months now. Thanks for this excellent software!

Edit: Ouch, sorry I missed the correct forum.

I downloaded the file lost.s06e16.720p.hdtv.x264-ctu.mkv from rapidshare.com, file size 1173353773, perform a test transcoding (Movies (primary)), no problem.
P.S. 0.70-0.73.8 expires June, 1, 2010
