I posted a note a few days ago explaining how I can crash a Mac running
6.0.5, using only system software. I was curious if this is a bug in 6.0.5
(it seems to be) and whether or not it's limited to 6.0.5.
As of now I have had exactly 0 responses. Is this because
a. Nobody's interested in 6.0.5 anymore?
b. Nobody received my message? Is our pnews working?
c. Nobody's surprised that it's possible to crash a Mac without using
anything except the control panel?
d. I'm impatient?
e. All of the above?
f. Other: ____________________
In summary, in case anybody's interested, if I choose a certain desktop
pattern with the control panel, open the Monitors control panel, and select
Undo from the Edit menu, my Mac crashes. I have a IIcx with Apple's RGB
monitor and 8 bit video. This happens with NO INITs or non-Apple cdevs
installed. It also happens on a Mac II. I'll send details by e-mail if
you'd like, rather than reposting.
Please respond by e-mail, and I'll summarize (if anybody's interested).
Thanks,
Steve
