Well, chaps - I've got a URL that will do it, although not as
spectacular as the '35!!!' I had the other day. Here's the pattern,
which I can reproduce at any time:
1. Start Arachne V1.61. DOS memory reported: 143+ (blue)
2. Dial. When connected, DOS memory reported: 74+ (blue)
3. Press 'M' for mail page. DOS memory reported: 74+ (blue)
4. Go to http://www.web-sites.co.uk/nasm DOS memory reported: 53+
5. Press 'M' for mail page. DOS memory reported: 53+ (blue)
True - this doesn't actually cause a crash - well not immediately,
anyway, and it doesn't give the '35!!!' in red that I HAVE seen. But why
does the memory not recover from 53+ to 74+ when returning from the NASM
page to the mail page?
Hope this gives someone a clue. Let me know if you want me to do any
further steps or experiments.
Thanks,
Ron.
