I hope that we may yet see other useful postings suggesting the next step in
tracking down your troubles. I'm just scattering shots in case any of my
suggestions ring a bell (is that a mixed metaphor or what?)
I believe that MungWall doesn't need an MMU. Its principal advantage is that
it carefully tests all allocated memory to see that it's put back properly and
is not overrun (it actually surrounds the allocated memory with tokens, and
checks that they have not been smashed when the memory is returned).
I wonder if it's worth checking what other processes are active in your
machine. If you're loaded down with utilities, hot keys, screen savers, and
whatnot, it *might* turn out that one of these are triggering a malfunction in
your program. Try taking 'em out to see if the problem goes away.
Certainly wouldn't hurt to put MungWall in there. As you commented, it's a
judgment call as to whether it's worth while adding an MMU in order to get
Enforcer in action. ANYONE?
