- Since there have been several responses, none of which turned out to be the
- actual problem, I'll post what I finally found out:
-
- My program was using the trackdisk device. I would:
- 1) start the program
- 2) Insert a disk
- 3) execute the disk function
- 4) close the program
-
- By leaving the disk in the drive, apparently some memory was floating around
- for the disk with my task as the allocator. Removing the disk before checking
- memory eliminated the problem. So, along with running flush to check for
- memory loss, make sure all disks are removed from the drives...
