- It was on the night of 30-Jan-98, when no creatures were stirring, and all was
- silent. Suddenly, Jens jumped out from behind a rock and wouldnt stop shouting
- about "Re: Apollo 060" until I was forced to knock them out:
-
- »-> I've done some experiments, and it appears that the loop gets unstable
- »-> when it's runing VERY fast. So the crashes is seen more often if AMOS
- »-> is running from a clean WB (No Opus or other things running). As soon
- »-> as something else is running the chance of crash drops..
-
- Its not only the 060 which has this problem, its often occured on my machine
- (blizzard 1220, 28MhZ FPU) with the Foundation Mailinglist. At night, i'll
- reset my machine and run Miami + Foundationlist and if I get up in the middle
- of the night its usually frozen about 5 hours later. One way I got around
- this, was to limit the no. of cycles used in a loop to an absolute minimum,
- and thus ive had (at the most whilst in england) 39 hours out of the list
- program, and reset the machine remotely whilst it was still running.
-
- Instead of using Do...LOOP commands, try something else, like Repeat...Until,
- or While...Wend even. Just experiment with different measures and see the
- results.
