[comp.sys.mac.programmer] Spinning Floppy during System Task

gsbrob1@apcvxa.uchicago.edu (11/25/88)

I've written a short application in LSP and I'm having a 
problem:

When I've built and saved the application and open up a DA from within the
application, the DA opens but the floppy drive in which the system disk is
keeps on spinning even after the DA is loaded. I checked with TMON, and if I
step through the application, the drive spins for a short (1 sec) interval
every time SystemTask is called, and then stops.  Since SystemTask is being
called so often (once each time through the loop), the consequence is non-stop
spinning when the application is running.   Other than that it seems to go
through the event loop fine: one can pull down menus, etc.  The spinning
doesn't happen when the application is running in the LSP environment.  Where
should I begin looking for the problem?

I first built the app in LSP 2.0, which may be a bit buggy, from what I've
heard, so I went and re-built it in 1.11.  Same problem. It also doesn't seem
to be that particular DA, since it happens with several (and the DA's work fine
in all other circumstances)

Thanks for any info,

Robert
