ldb file

[jerry]

what would cause the ldb file to read like this? it
doesn't do this all the time, but about half the time.

Trying to read it in Notepad?

For some reason, it appears that Notepad is becoming confused when trying to
read an .ldb file. Instead of seeing it as an ASCII-encoded file, it is
seeing it as a UNICODE-encoded file.

One manual workaround is this:
(1) Open Notepad.
(2) Within Notepad, navigate to the desired .ldb file. Select
ASCII-encoding and open the file.
(3) While keeping the file open, click File | Open and again open the
same .ldb file. It now will open correctly.
