over a six or seven different computer boxes only one showed this problem and not consistently at that
so yes it is some obscure thing and yes with the exception i have mentioned we 'never' see it either
maybe this is why protel abandoned the DDB ?
the bad box had an Intel MB
so did the good boxes of earlier generations
had CAD files go haywire. I just attributed it to Windows troubles. I later
ran Linux on it for some experiments, and then tried to compile the Linux
kernel. It blew up every time, with a signal 11. I found out that this is often
caused by bad memory. As I had an identical machine, I tried the kernel
compile on the other one, it ran fine (for ~ 18 hours on a 486). So, even though
Windows and applications appeared to run fine, this machine was sick. I then
got a bootable memory tester program, and it indicated bad memory or
cache, I don't remember the details anymore. You might try one of the
memory diagnostics on that machine that had the difficulty.
