- At the time of ETO #23, there was an incompatibility discovered
- between System 7.6 and versions of StdCLib 3.4.4 or later and
- certain PowerMac's including 6100/7100/8100's and 5200's.
-
- The problem was actually in how the system loads and registers libraries
- at boot time. In some cases, an application/tool would crash with
- a 'PowerPC access exception at AAFE0700' when exiting. The
- application/tool would complete its work, but not cleanup properly
- on exit and crash.
-
- This problem was fixed in System 8.0.
-
- BUT NOTE THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS REOCCURRED IN SYSTEM 8.5:
- -------------------------------------------------------
-
- Due to a new dependence on StdCLib in the boot process of 8.5,
- the behavior described above has recurred, and it eluded our
- testing of System 8.5.
-
- If you must use System 7.6, 7.6.1 or 8.5 and StdCLib 3.4.4 or
- later, and experience 'PowerPC access exception at AAFE0700',
- the workaround is to place the StdCLib extension in the
- same folders as the applications and tools which use it. This
- will ensure that the correct exit code is loaded into the
- app/tool's context.
