I'm using Jscript, not Java.  No JVM to work with.

When analyzing the dump in Visual Studio, it points to illegal memory access 
error.  Whether that means something is attempting to access free'd memory or 
use an invalid pointer is anybody's guess as I do not have the necessary 
resources to debug XSI.exe.

Occasionally I get a BEX error pointing to a StackHash issue, but it doesn't 
provide any details.

I was just curious if anybody else has experienced this problem because this 
didn't happen in 7.5, and I don't see it happening in 2013 SP1 (64 bit).  
Issues seems specific to the 32 bit version of Softimage 2013 SP1.   We've 
reproduced the issue on multiple computer architectures.

Problem is I have many tools using GridData in PPGs and now I need a workaround.

Subject: Re: GridData crashing in PPG?

Not sure but if you are getting a 'OutOfMemoryError ' it is possibly a garbage 
collection issue.

Although I am not entirely familiar with Garbage Collection mechanism in Java, 
and definitely not familiar with java script in softimage but here are a few 
pointers that might help:
1. The grid obj is most probably not properly garbage collected.
2. Try System.gc() and Runtime.gc() which is used to send request of Garbage 
Collection to JVM before PPG close.

I'm troubleshooting an issue in 2013 SP1 (32bit) where displaying a GridData 
object in a custom property PPG induces a crash - usually when the PPG is 
closed.   The source of the crash is 'ntdll.dll' according to the Microsoft 
crash dump report, which indicates a memory allocation issue.  The puzzler is 
my code is written in Jscript which doesn't have any memory allocation 
responsibilities.  That indicates the source of the problem is either Windows 
or Softimage.  Just curious if anybody else has experienced this issue.

Thanks,

Matt
