Date: Mon, 9 Nov 1998 15:19:21 +0100 Organization: University of Ghent, Belgium Lines: 38 Message-ID: NNTP-Posting-Host: eduserv2.rug.ac.be Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII To: djgpp AT delorie DOT com DJ-Gateway: from newsgroup comp.os.msdos.djgpp Reply-To: djgpp AT delorie DOT com I've encountered a serious problem with the allegro grabber: every time I try to save a datafile to disk it crashes with a page fault wich is displayed in tiny green letters on top of the grabber screen, and then hangs my computer. I tried to recompile everything afresh, first deleting all of allegro, then unzipping a freshly alleg30.zip and difoctxx.zip, applying the patch and then doing make. All compiles with no errors or warnings, and tthge other programs, like the example programs and the demo are working 100% OK. I've read other complaints here about the grabber crashing and hanging the computer. That I why I have come to think that there might be a nasty, elusive bug in the grabber. If anybody is interested in helping me, then I could either e-mail the compiled grabber to them, so they can test if they experience the same problem, or have tjhem send me a working copy of the grabber. Extra info: I'm using a P100 with 40meg of mem, and a CIRRUS video card with 1 meg mem, running caldara opendos, and the latest non-alphja version of djgpp and gcc. (I forgot the number) Thanks in advance for helping me out. Bjorn De Meyer. IA #i^4 Homepage: http://studwww.rug.ac.be/~bgdmeyer E-mail: bjorn DOT demeyer AT rug DOT ac DOT be Licentiate Chemistry.
