Seems like every time I run the shar program to unshar some wonderful
thing from the net, the guru visits. Usually the Amiga croaks almost
immediately when shar is run, but on a fresh boot, it seems like shar
will run to completion one time, then the guru visits with the next
program, whatever it happens to be. Almost always get a 4 in the left
half of the guru number (illegal instruction) but the address varies some.
This is with 1.2R, and workbench not loaded. If memory serves, this did
not happen (at least not as consistently) with 1.2G and earlier. Certainly
did not happen with 1.1. A colleague uses the RRD and has the same problem,
but he always gets a 3 in the left half of the guru number.
Oh yes, the shar program is whatever appeared in comp.sys.amiga some time
ago, and was compiled with Lettuce 3.03 (or whatever the latest pre-3.10
version was).
Any clues?
Anyone else experienced this? Most important, anyone else fixed it? :-)
