I guess I'll go ahead and reply to my own message:
I changed the Handle LENGTH to 1300 and it crashed after only a couple
records. Then I added MemHandleFree(myHandle) and I went through the whole
list about 8 times and it hasn't crashed yet.
Now, all my code that has to do with that Handle looks like:
MemHandle myHandle = MemHandleNew(1300);
Char *myText = MemHandleLock(myHandle);
...string operations...
MemHandleUnlock(myHandle);
MemHandleFree(myHandle);
Is there anything else I need to free or anything before my function ends.
I actually went through a tutorial a month ago and never saw the use of
MemHandleFree(). It only took about 50 pages of code and prob'ly a few
hundred calls to MemHandleNew for it to finally cause it to crash.
If anyone notices anything I am missing or perhaps thinks this was a fluke,
your comments would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Scott
