[comp.sys.mac.programmer] weird LSP bug

es2q+@andrew.cmu.edu (Erik Warren Selberg) (03/30/90)

I'm having an interesting time with an LDEF I'm writing... I've been using
the InstallDefProf() routine supplied with LSP (2.0) to test the LDEF...
when I installed it, though, all hell broke lose.  What I did was compile
the thing, and then let it run.... first off, all the menus et al were shrunk
to some itty-bitty font (Chicago 9?).  Regardless, it was really small and
evil.  Also, OnCue was warped, and there was extra space at the end of the
menus (as if Chicago 12 were used).
What's worse is that when I used the routines that accessed the LDEF, it printedout the first word and then died (illegal instruction).

a bit about the LDEF:
what I'm using as data is the StripAddress() of an object... in the dev.
process, I use the actual objects (all the fields with methods intact).  In
the compiled LDEF, I skip the methods, but all the fields are the same.
When I print the stuff, I'm printing a name (string[12]) and then a
string which was converted from an internal integer (another part of the record
which holds the data).

does anyone have any clue as to what could be going wrong?  it works fine when
I install it on the fly....
