There is no such thing as a corrupted item.
This is just an theory.
The login process right now is as follow
1. Confirm pin
2. You are logged into the server, but not in any channel. (responsible for the "character has logged in" message)
3. Server sends character data to your client (before your screen start to fade to black)
4. Your client then attempt to log into the channel, and sends your character data to the channel (screen start to fade to black)
5. The channel process your character data and send you in game (resolution change)
Error code 38: Reach end of file occurs at step 5 due to too much data being processed (aka too much item in inventory), and ends the process before items can expire.
Step 3 take at most half a second to process, while step 4 will take the most time for the client to load up everything.
Items are then compared with the server clock at step 2 onwards.
The window drag trick stop the process at step 4 and delays step 5 until you release it.
