Default Attachments dissapear

I have a problem that attachments sometimes dissapear when editing an existing article.
Sometimes they are saved under user 0
The problem seems to arise when there is more than about 10-20 attachments.
If I then upload more attachments a few of the existing just dissapear when saving the article.

No problem in Vbulletin with this only in GARS forums.

Gars doesnt touch the attachment system. Are you trying to upload them as another user?

Well it does not matter if you edit as the original user or as another user (Admin).
It does not happen when you do the initial posting as far as I have found, only when editing an existent post with attachments and upload more attachments.
I had a discussion with Psionic Vision over at vBorg about his mod AEO and he ansvered the same way you did.(Do not touch attachments)
AEO, I had discovered before on vB3.5.4 without GARS, had the same odd behavior so I thought AEO was the problem and uninstalled it.
Now the problem dissapeared from vB posts but was still present in GARS Posts.

Even if you do not touch attachments I assume you still hold pointers to them when you are in edit mode and create new if new attachments are uploaded.

It may be a timing issue. I found attachments under user 0 and some users complains about loosing attachments.
I tried different ways to recreate it with single upploads but was not successful recreating the problem.
At one occation the username was lost and the attachment was saved under user 0 but still accessible.
1 So I did set the upload to 10 at a time.
2 Created a thread and uploaded 10, (1-10) saved the thread.
3 Edited and uploaded 10 more (11-20), saved the thread.
4 Edited again and uploaded 10 more (21-30), saved the thread.
5 Edited and uploaded 10 more (31-40), then uploaded 10 more (41-50) before leaving the attachment upload window, saved the thread.
Then the first uppload (31-40) was lost when saving.
6 Edited again and saved and now the (41-50) appeared under user 0.

All this with the same user that did the initial posting.

PHP 4.4.2
Zend Engine v1.3.0
ionCube PHP Loader v3.1.16
Zend Extension Manager v1.0.9
Zend Optimizer v2.6.2
MySQL 4.1.21-standard

Hope this may help,
Many thanks for your excellent Mods and your way of supporting them and taking time to investigate issues like this.

Best Regards
Hakan

Ill run some tests. GARS doesnt have anything to do with the editing - however the postasuser ability in GARS (similar to AEO's feature) could be the culprit here.
