- We'll, I've found the answer to my problem. Thank goodness for undocumented
- "features" in the AVS manuals: otherwise, debugging would be such a bore=;^).
-
- On DEC 5000 ULTRIX (and maybe other machines too):
- A coroutine module must operate synchronously (AVScorout_set_sync(1)) so
- that AVScorout_event_wait() will function properly with respect to timeout.
- If the coroutine module is operating asynchronously, it will return
- immediately regardless of the timeout value (NULL or non-NULL).
-
- GRRRR. (Release product, allow users to find bugs, announce upgrade program).
