This seems to be a team project, with "junior" programmers involved. Since the known bug (reference to invalid memory areas) is so blatent, I would recommend code walk-thrus and other peer-review procedures be installed. Make sure your entire team is using maximum error reporting using the "-Wall" switch, or equivelant. Have a "senior" team member approve all changes. Things like that.
-Paul p.s. "Junior" and "Senior" do not refer to age, but experience of the programmer in question. "Kevin OKeefe" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:113307@palm-dev-forum... Our application handles a non-global launch code (via an alarm). Someone has inadvertently added a global flag to the code that handles the launch code. The code in question only READS the global - it does not change it. I have demonstrated to myself and my colleagues that this code cases a Bus Error on the emulator. However, on a real device (m500), a crash does not occur. My question to you all is: What is your expectation for the state of the device after this global is accessed on a real device? An immediate crash (not seen), a crash eventually, or never a crash. We do have an intermittent problem and I'm holding this global access suspect, but we have been unable to demonstrate a crash after knowingly running this code several times.
