I have been using haxe & neko on my quadcore WinXPProSP2 PC for a couple of years now. I always occasionally got a "Fatal error in gc / SuspendThread failed" dialog window when running a neko executable (incl. the haxe compiler). The haxe compile command reports "Error : Neko compilation failure". However, since upgrading to neko 1.8, it seems to have a lot worse. I would say that for every 5 times I invoke the haxe compiler, it successfully completes only once .. the other times I get the Fatal error message. If I try the simple "neko test" command, I get approx 1 failure for every 6 or 7 invocations (although the console reports "Test successful" when the fatal error message is shown"). I have disabled my virus checker (eset NOD32), then removed the virus checker completely, with no effect.
Aside from the annoyance / inconvenience factor whilst developing, I am now getting concerned that any neko vm - based software I develop may exhibit this same problem on installed client machines. I cannot see another reference to this in the neko list .. has anyone else encountered this ? Happy to share any error dumps you think might be useful.... Thanks, Richard.
