I tracked it to a descriptor being trashed by malloc! Not knowing whether it was a bug in malloc, or something done in a prior call, I punted. I put the following in one of the header files: #define malloc VAXC$MALLOC_OPT #define calloc VAXC$CALLOC_OPT #define realloc VAXC$REALLOC_OPT #define free VAXC$FREE_OPT #define cfree VAXC$CFREE_OPT I may have just moved memory around enough to wipe out some other location, but I don't think I've seen an ACCVIO since. -Bruce -- Bruce Tanner (213) 860-2451 x 596 Tanner@Cerritos.EDU Cerritos College Norwalk, CA cerritos!tanner
