Interestingly, I have almost the opposite behaviour :) With dynarec on I get a segfault. With dynarec off, RPMemu doesn't crash but RISC OS itself does (as you say, it doesn't seem to like the interpreted SA). Sadly, I get the same behaviour with ARM710. It does, however, take a *lot* more "throwing around" of the window to trigger the lockup. I'm using an Athlon64 X2 (but I have everything installed 32bit - indeed, I get exactly the same results on my normal AthlonXP box). The distro is Fedora 8 (but I had the same with FC6). RPCemu is 118 from SVN. FWIW, this is what I do to reproduce the problem: Start RPCemu as normal, with the RISC OS 4.02 ROM image (extracted from my RiscPC - I previously said 4.01 in error). Open the ResourceFS filer by clicking its icon. Throw the Resources:$.Apps window around the screen (like a maniac, at your discretion ;) Some observations: The segfault seems to happen more quickly if the RO4 "banner" window is still showing when I move the Resources:$.Apps window. Likewise, crossing the iconbar seems to greatly increase the likelihood of the segfault. That makes it look like some (RISC OS) window redraw code is what's triggering the problem. If I run rpcemu under gdb, I get this for the backtrace: ... Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
