Patrick,

thanks for your report. Have you managed to reproduce the bug (i.e., has it occurred a second time?) As a shorthand, I'd suggest to try the latest, stable version of BaseX, which you find at:

Looking forward to your feedback, Christian

Hi,

I am trying to import one million documents within a directory to basex using the console as described on the faq-page.

The command I am using is: java -cp BaseX61.jar org.basex.BaseXClient -vc "create DB /home/tuscreen/cml tuscreen "

Immediately after execution the server throws an exception: Exception in thread "Thread-6" java.lang.NullPointerException        at org.basex.build.DiskBuilder.close(DiskBuilder.java:102)        at org.basex.build.DiskBuilder.abort(DiskBuilder.java:88)        at org.basex.core.Progress.abort(Progress.java:98)        at org.basex.core.Proc.run(Proc.java:146)        at org.basex.core.Proc.exec(Proc.java:109)        at org.basex.server.ServerProcess.run(ServerProcess.java:128)

When importing a small fraction of the data, everything works fine. Is there any way to import all  documents?

Thank you Patrick
