I've noticed that if you use the FILL command (1B 4F) on a graphics
window after selecting the small dots fill pattern (1B 2E CB 07) the
fill operation will terminate with a #186 (stack overflow) error if there
is any degree of complication to the area to be filled. This problem does
not appear to happen with the other patterns. Has anyone else run into this?

It needs to be patched, and Kevin Darling is working on that (among other things). -- Pete Lyall (OS9 Users Group V.P.)
