I've been using the PATH: device for my s, devs, l, libs and fonts directories. I once tried to convert to pathass instead, but crashed on startup. After making sure I was using the right handler (both of these default to l:path-handler -> I changed the path: device to pathdev-handler and changed the mountlist ) it still crashed. So I continued to use path: I've recently gotten sick of path: yet again and tried to switch back to pathass. This time I isolated the bug. The following causes pathass to chow down on all available fast ram until it expires with a guru .... pathass l: public:l,amiga:l The reason seems to me to be a problem with pathass looking for l:path-handler while it is changing l: which is something that should be able to be fixed. Anybody ever have this problem or have a solution?
