I wanted to follow up on the OS X 10.2 crashes. From reading over at comp.sys.mac.programmer.codewarrior, I found out that there has been a latent bug in the IDE, hosted on Mac OS, that would occasionally cause it to crash when closing a window. This happened too rarely to detect until OS X 10.2 was released, and that OS tweaked things to suddenly start exposing this bug frequently on some systems. It doesn't happen for everyone. I will be checking with the IDE team to find out how they are addressing this bug in the coming week. I will find out more on this and post any tips I can find. -- Ben Combee CodeWarrior for Palm OS Platform technical lead [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
