MI-L XP crash problem with split function - Solved?

[Robert Crossley]

Thanks to Martin Maloney and any of the US MapInfo tech support who worked 
on the problem that I have been having with a split function written in 
MapBasic on XP.  It seems to have been solved, probably although perhaps 
it needs more testing yet.

The issue seems to be related to using a tilde (~) character at the start 
of table names, which I have done for many years to indicate to myself 
that the table was a temporary selection.

eg.  Select * from ThisTable Where x = variable Into ~Temp

Then I do stuff with the ~Temp table.  This only seems to have an impact 
under very specific circumstances, which I can't quite define, but it is a 
fairly easy workaround to just not use it.  I now use SEL_ to indicate 
selection tables.

This is only a bug on XP, as the code has worked fine on 2000 and older OS 
for years.

Anyway, One of those little quirks that you can store away in the dark 
recesses of your mind.
