Ok, good. That means it was likely a recent Dabo revision that started causing the segfaults. You need to do more, now. You know that we are at revision 2706, that 2706 doesn't work but 2675 does. Now try 2690 and keep the process going until you find the revision where the segfaults start happening. This is known as regression testing. -- pkm ~ http://paulmcnett.com _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/dabo-dev
