Of course, should have been a bit more specific from the start.
I run bbackupquery towards a newly created account and use the "ls"
command to list files (which there aren't any since the account is new).
So, I guess it occurs when there are no directory entries to be read
from the stream.
The call is from BackupQueries.cpp in this section:
// Retrieve the directory from the stream following
BackupStoreDirectory dir;
std::auto_ptr<IOStream> dirstream(mrConnection.ReceiveStream());
// THIS CALL CAUSES THE EXCEPTION, Stefan
dir.ReadFromStream(*dirstream, mrConnection.GetTimeout());
// Then... display everything
BackupStoreDirectory::Iterator i(dir);
