Aloha,

Yes. The crash did happen when accessing an array with a negative index! If 
that’s the only thing that causes the crash, I can be extra careful about that 
and do checks. Thanks for pointing this out. And yes, I wrote that serious bug. 
:)

As this is an internal database for our non-profits, it’s run in interpreted 
mode, so no compiler checking done. I do a decent amount of the programing (for 
the past 10-years), and use what I program.

I don’t think I can use the compiler to do checking either, as tons of the code 
is carried forward from v1 and v2, and lots of code written without compiler 
declarations.

To be honest, I don't understand these problems. Our main product relies 
heavily on the 4D webserver on the server, for years. So far there aren't any 
serious problems. If there are any, we wouldn't use 4D anymore.
And running the webserver on a client isn't an option for us.

The only problem we experienced which causes a server crash is accessing an 
array with a negative index. But such things are caused by serious bugs (during 
development).
What compiler settings do you use?
