JMK> Yes, except I'm using 21.4.3... Right. It's not just in 21.4.4, but something about 21.4.4 means it gets tickled far more often. Apparently Jody always gets clobbered in 21.4.3 but most other people didn't. See the thread "Call Stack for Window..." starting around July 24 for more details, but basically it's a problem that a structure containing live Lisp pointers was getting collected too early. Messing with GC is inherently destabilizing; I'm not going to apply patches willy-nilly. -- University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences Tel/fax: +81 (298) 53-5091 _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ What are those straight lines for?
