[comp.sys.amiga.graphics] Wierdness with MandelVroom!

joem@nos850.UUCP (Joe Muller) (04/15/91)

  I just had a very strange experience with MandelVroom.  After clicking on
it's icon in it's respective drawer and running the program, I proceeded to
plot a Julia Set on my 2500/30.  After it finished I selected "Save ILBM"
from the pulldown menu and it *LOOKED* like it was saving it to my disk
however suddenly the screen totally blacked out and it reboot.  Oddly enough,
if I run MandelVroom from CLI or Shell and have it save a pic, it works fine!
Anybody else experience this or know what the problem might ?

          or

P.S.  This happened both times I tried running it from an HD and a
      floppy.

I'm glad that SOMEONE else has seen this; I (blush) never thought of running
MandelVroom from a shell...
