Crashing problems
Norm,
The `Crash when Quit' problem (as it has come to be known) is being looked
at. It was discovered quite some time ago and was discussed here briefly.
To recap: It effects a very small number of machines (I know, little
comfort to those it does) AND happens on any know configuration–from A500
to machines with 040 boards.
The tough thing is getting it to happen here at GD. We can't re-create the
problem on any machine in Tech, Development, Beta-sites, local computer
stores, or on staff home-machine.
Development have narrowed it down to memory-trashing but that is about it
at this time.
There is also no effective work around. Some users have suggested: -close
all WorkBench windows first
-don't use CGfonts or use a bit-map font first
-use CGfonts first
-use the keyboard shortcut quit
-use the pulldown menu to quit
-select new first before quiting
-run form cli only
-run from the icon only
-don't run ARexx
Many suggestions have come in…but it seems to depend on your system.
