I'm hoping someone out there can enlighten me on the true meaning of
this guru meditation number: 87000004 265F48F1
When I look this one up in alerts.h, it tells me the error was detected
by dos.library and means "Unexpected packet received". Unfortunately,
this three-word explanation isn't helping me much.
My program is a dos handler for tape drives, written in C. It also opens
a CON: window and Write()s messages to it. Three Write()s successfully
execute, then the fourth one prints its message in the window but never
returns to my program; instead I get the "task held" requester, then guru.
To add a bizarre note to this story, it only fails on A2000's and 2500s;
it has never failed on my home A1000+Supra system.
I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Perhaps if I knew more about
what dos thinks is an "unexpected packet" during Write(), and how I could
be creating that situation, I might know where to look. Is there anything
special I have to do to Write() from a process which is not a CLI (the
handler process was created by Mount)? What does 265F48F1 mean?
Your knowledgeable replies will be much appreciated!
