INFO2 hanging "Add files"

Whenever I "Add Directory", there a few INFO2 files. And if I do not remove them manually, after "Start", adding of files hang on one of that INFO2 files. After that, no more files are processed, and even "Clear list" or "Remove selection" does not work on that file. Restarting the client is only thing that helps.

Yeah it sometimes happens that the client hang on some of my files... I thought it was related to the invalid characters bug but if it hangs on a file called INFO2 well it should be something else.

Are these info 2 files large or could you attach one of them so I can test?

The file is always deleted (in "E:\RECYCLER\S-1-5-21-2306907525-1484518939-2014487449-1109" directory).

I put it into info2.rar file. Hope you can access it.

Just some thoughts:
Is this some kind of temporary file AOM made while hashing files?
Maybe it crashes because the file is locked?
Maybe the problem would be solved, if you do not "add" hidden or system files.

I didn't write the code that does the hashing so I don't really know but I DO know it has issues with locked files under some circumstances.
