Appears >to be standard behavior. My rather unprofessional guess is a trashed sprite pointer. It happens on my A3000 as well. Of course, my A3000 *never* crashes :) Recall that under 1.3, it was possible to crash the system such that the mouse pointer was still moving on the bottom scan-line? Now if my A3000 was as slow as my A500 I'd be able to check and see.... :) David Navas navas@cory.berkeley.edu "Excuse my ignorance, but I've been run over by my train of thought." -me (and Calvin)

Note there is a bug in the current ram where one of the calls returns that it uses 512 byte blocks. It also does optimization on small file to only allocate the minimum space required to store them (good for env: variables). >6.

It's a 1.3 KS bug - it interacts with the sprite hardware (I think it only happens because the processor is so much faster). -- Randell Jesup, Keeper of AmigaDos, Commodore Engineering. {uunet|rutgers}!cbmvax!jesup, jesup@cbmvax.cbm.commodore.com BIX: rjesup Common phrase heard at Amiga Devcon '89: "It's in there!"
