The spiders and crabs programs recently posted to comp.sources.amiga cause
a solid lockup followed by a guru when rebooting. Here is the guru number
and information I could gather on it:
DH0(40MB):> guru 82011234
Alert Type: DEADEND
Generated by: Graphics Library
General Cause: Insufficient memory
Specific Cause: Emergency memory not available
Has anybody else experienced this problem, or better yet, have a fix for it?
The programs sound like good candidates for my hacks directory.
Thanks.

RE Crabs and Spiders gurus Haven't run Spiders, but Crabs gave me the exact same Guru when run from the Workbench, and a #4 (illegal instruction) when run from WShell. I had chalked it up to my 68030 and gave up...

<line eater????> well Crabs crashes my stock 500 (1meg CBM 100%) i don't got the #### but it is a Big Red GURU. Spiders works fine but the machine still seems slow after i quit the program.

I have a 68000, and Crabs crashes with a #3 (illegal address?) guru when I run it from the Workbench. I haven't tried running it from WShell. On the other claw, Spiders seems to run with no problem.

I wote both crabs and spiders on a standard amiga under 1.3, I never looked to the possibility of it running on a 68030 machine If you know how to compile it on your machine I suggest you do Anthony Thyssen - (Dragon Computing!) thyssen@batserver.cs.uq.oz.au ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In some parts of the city curiosity didn't just kill the cat, It threw it in the river with lead weights tied to its feet. -- Terry Pratchett "Sourcery" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Crabs program was written (by me) on a 1meg machine, I posted it to the network so others can take a look, Please note, I live in australia and as such am using PAL machines. I wonder if this could be the cause. I'll take a relook at the code when I next get so time.
