Recently, I've had a very disturbing bug in a program I'm writing. In this program, I'm receiving IDCMP messages from two seperate windows (depending upon which the user selects, obviously). I setup a waitmask by using the mp_SigBit from one window's userport, and logically or'ing it with the other window's mp_SigBit. Everything works just swell, but every once in a blue moon the system crashes with a "Unknown IDCMP message" guru (8400000D.00000000). Yes, I am checking for NULL messages. Has anyone else experienced this guru? It's quite baffling, actually, since it would seem to suggest it's not my fault. I can post a bit of source if someone thinks it would help, but its in assembly. Thanks in advance.

I have never experienced this guru, however, there was a posting some years ago from Jimm that talked about how to tie your IDCMP ports together. This way you could look have more than one window on a program and the menus stay the same no matter what window you are currently in. This might make a good AmigaLine, Bryce, I think that I have it somewhere. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Randy Spencer P.O.
