Re: Thump test requested

Hi,

I should have known it was too good to be true. The various Thump betas
have attracted little comment which leads one to suppose all is
reasonably OK. Then someone broke it.

The suspicion is that this a 512MB problem, all is perfectly fine on my
128MB Iyonix.

The example is at the following URL is an ArtWorks file. Be aware that
if this file is in a directory and the fault occurs it will take the
whole machine down.

URL:http://www.ejclark.force9.co.uk/temp/testpage.zip

To be fair I recall one other report of a 512MB artefact, with sprites I
think it was.

I am advised that there is a druck work around to force the use of low
memory dynamic areas, this associated with PhotoDesk. I am advised that
this work around also fixes this Thump issue.

As I do have neither 512MB nor Photodesk I am not really across this,
but I was relieved I only had 128MB and promptly forgot about the whole
thing.

Specifically the issue may be related to Thump's cacheing, these files
are in <Wimp$ScrapDir>.Thump

Would some kind soul(s) please try the test file on machines of any size
so as to verify the scope of the problem.

Just tested it on this 512MB Iyo, and it crashes Thump with No Stack
for Trap Handler (I hope I've got that right) but doesn't take the
machine down with it. Do you need any more info on this, bearing in
mind that I'm technically illiterate?

With best wishes,

Peter.
