QuickTime 1.5 and faulty patch of UnloadScrap
Date Written: 11/24/92
Last reviewed: 3/1/93
QuickTime 1.5 introduces a bug in the UnloadScrap call. It patches UnloadScrap
so that if the scrap is already unloaded (that is, ScrapHandle is NIL), UnloadScrap
immediately returns without setting the return value to noErr . This results in a bogus
error code being returned unless I initialize the result beforehand.
Thanks for the bug report about QuickTime 1.5 and its faulty patch of
UnloadScrap . Until the bug's fixed, you have a reasonable workaround: setting
the result to 0 to begin with.
