I am also having this problem (crashing when unzooing on a FFS Hard disk). I have only the release version of 1.3 and FFS, but the problem still occurs. And keeping all else equal, the problem does not occur in RAM:, on Floppies, or in a SFS partition... (I'm using Zoo 2.00) The Guru number is usually either 3 or 4. So it is definately a bug somewhere... >(Sorry for shouting... it also might be that you don't have your stack >set large enough... :-) Even with a large stack, the problem still occurs... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Chad 'The_Walrus' Netzer -> AmigaManiac++
