Anyone have this problem?
You try to set the event mask to something other than what it is and
it crashes the system?
Specifically SetEventMask(EveryEvent);
I wrote my own code to manipulate address $144 (egads not hard coded
addressing) and the event mask works fine.
What's wrong with Apple's version? After poking around in memory after
calling there seteventmask, i noticed that the actual queue address
contents are screwed up!!?!?, and not the event mask address 144?
Is it me, or what?

This is a known bug. Their SetEventMask uses a MOVE.L where it should use a MOVE.W. You can 1) patch the MacTraps library (using FEdit, Search for: 225F 21DF 0144 4ED1 Change to: 225F 31DF 0144 4ED1 ) or 2) Use a line like SysEvtMask = EveryEvent; /* SysEvtMask is a lomem global defined in EventMgr.h */ or 3) Wait for the new version of LightSpeed C due out at the end of the month.
