Essentially, you had a bug which generated a trap (C,D, or 2, most likely). When the OS/2 trap handler caught the error, *IT* then trapped. This is one of those things that should *NEVER* happen, and is usually the result of bad ram or a screwed up CPU. We were testing an application a few months ago which ran on 8 machines perfectly, but on the 9th machine always trap-8'ed. Replacing system memory removed the problem (thank god). ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Deus Ex Machina | Internet: bill.dehaan@rose.com Software Consulting and Gator Pit | I'm a brain in a vat.
