Hi All,
 
        I am working on a program that uses iff.library v16.1 which  was
posted in .binaries.amiga.  I have encountered a problem that is either with
iff.library or my hardware.  The problem happens also when iff.library calls
are made from the sample program included with the .zoo file.  Here is how I
can reproduce the problem:
 
        - I ask my program to load IFF pictures from the disk
          a few times (must do it more than 10 times).
        - I exit my program--nothing happens yet.
        - I type 'avail' at CLI prompt--I crash with Guru 00000003
          which is an address error.
 
        I have memwatch running all the time and it doesn't complain. 
Metascope debugger stops 'avail' before the guru.  Then I see that A0 (and D0
for that matter) contain some bogus value 0x23232323.
 
 
        Has anyone else encountered this problem?  If it is not a problem with
iff.library than what else is likely to cause such an error?


Thanks

                                        ----- Adam -----
