 * I just installed a fresh copy of wordpress v3.4.1, using the default themes and
   plugins along with Auto Post Thumbnail.
 * I added a few posts which includes an <img src=”IMGURL”> and ran Auto Post Thumbnail.
 * I waited until the progress bar completed and no images showed up under the media
   tab.
 * However, my upload folder shows a bunch of new files with funky file names and
   no extensions. Additionally, they are all 50 bytes in size.
 * Here are a few examples:
    image-1111111111110-1101111110111111 image-1010101010100-
   1001010100101010 image-1212121212120-1201212120121212 image-1313131313130-1301313130131313
   image-1414141414140-1401414140141414 image-5874610-10437059 image-5874610-104370591
   image-5874620-204370592 image-5874630-304370593
 * I was able to replicate the problem with a fresh wordpress v3.3 install thinking
   it may have been related to the 3.4 issues previously posted.
 * Lastly, I have no problems adding a featured image manually using the same external
   image source included in my posts.
 * Any ideas, or suggestions on how I might be able to resolve this issue?
 * Could it have to do with my server configuration?
 * any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
 * Thanks in advance,
    RVKealohi

 * OK, I retested the plugin with two different source feeds (both containing image
   url’s among other things) which i’ve used in the past. one feed worked without
   problems, while the other simply didn’t, creating the funky image files noted
   above.
 * Both feeds contain the same <pipe delimited> fields.
 * The feed that is currently causing a problem was not in issue in the previous
   version so i’m not sure what exactly changed.
