- I'm guessing that this is the same trap that TMON Pro referred to as
- _JacksonPollock. I know that it's related to Color QuickDraw, but I
- didn't bother reading through the code.
-
- A similar question to yours: what the hell is _Bass? I was getting some
- crashes when a program I was fixing thrashed thePort, and my stack crawl
- led me through some code low in memory (very low, like $00001000 or so) that
- called _Bass.
-
- Does anyone know what _Bass is? Can I expect to find _Trout, _Snapper,
- _Haddock, _Cod, and more?
