Sorry if I wasn't able to respond to the posts in this thread for about a week, I came down with a severe flu ~:-( I'm still feeling a bit drowsy. >> I would assume that your InoculateIT is the same version as mine, that >> would be good then so this thing can be confirmed.

But they didn't. I'm getting updates for >InnoculateIT as I'm writing this and will try those, this evening. The crash doesn't happen when older versions of IPE are running in the background. The machine I use at work is fundamentally identical to the one I use at home, in terms of ``innards'' and OS versions. But the one I use at work has an older version of IPE. The crash doesn't happen on that machine. >But, since I used your modified dpmiexcp.c in an actual libc build so it >was compiled with the official picky set of gcc options, I found I had to >patch away some warnings (patch below).

Hmmm, could be right there. I'll try it tonight. BTW, the libc I use is one that came with DJGPP, and I've used one compiled from DJLSR203. I didn't make any changes to the DJLSR sources so I'm trusting that it is essentially the same library as the crash happens when I link with either library. Thanks for working on this too. nimrod_a_abing -------------- +========================================+ | Home page: www.geocities.com/n_abing | +========================================+ "Tinimbang ka ngunit kulang."
