Message-ID: Date: 27 Apr 88 13:58:51 GMT References: <8804261843.AA02822@polya.stanford.edu> Organization: Carnegie Mellon Lines: 31 In-Reply-To: <8804261843.AA02822@polya.stanford.edu> I need more information before I can give a definitive answer, such as: - What does your program do? - Does Lightspeed Pascal crash on exit every single time you run your program? - What system error do you get when it crashes (and the bomb box is displayed)? - Are you using any standard procedures (WriteLn to the text window, for example)? There is a crasher that occasionally shows up when running in 256-color mode; when a program exits, at some later point in time, a bus error occurs for no good reason. It's spurious and hard to track down, but we're getting it. Also, there have been some remarkable problems (again spurious) that I can't consistently reproduce, but which seem to be linked to use of the standard library console i/o and color mode. The standard libraries are being redone for the next version, so that may go away. But any more information would be much appreciated. If you have a trivial program that exhibits this behavior, I'd much appreciate it if you can send me the source and project files... --Rich Rich Siegel Quality Assurance Technician THINK Technologies
