A related problem?:
I compiled a program in the S+ state, using the maximum allowable stack size
65520 bytes and would still get run-time errors. Problem was that after the
display of the error message, the machine would hang and lock the keyboard
up, so a cold boot was necessary. (Both in the integrated environ and at the
DOS prompt)
When compiled in the S- state, using any stack size (1024, 8092 for ex.) the
SAME program runs fine, no hangups, no nothings! (I've been testing it for
over 2 weeks now)
So my question is,
Is there a bug in TP4 or is it just me?
I really am scared to use the program myself for I fear a bug will
jump out and eat me!
P.S.
I am using an exit procedure which restores interrupts and clear screens, but
I don't suspect this is the problem. Also I have very few nested procedures,
and am calling other programs using the EXEC procedure. And yes, I am using
the {$M} directive.
Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks
