Is it cool to put some blank lines up here for some reason??


I am trying to set up a double buffered screen that uses a 
vertical interrupt handler to do the flip. It works fine until
I try to depth arrange or slide the screen down, then I get a bomb
that looks like:

                         00000003.00c04fd0   or
                         00000004.00c04fd0     (always at this address...)

Here's what I try to do:

         Open a hi res custom screen
         find the view with ViewAddress()
         find the rastport for the screen
         allocate a second bitmap 
         create a rastport for the second bitmap

      then I insert a Vertical blanking interval interrupt server
      in the server chain at a priority of 1. This server
      switches the bitmaps like this:

    Scrn->ViewPort.RasInfo->BitMap=   (one of the bitmap pointers)
    MakeScreen(Scrn)
    MrgCop(view)
    LoadView(view)

This whole think works... until I try to move the screen or depth arrange.
do I need to find the view using ViewAddress within the server?
(It doesn't seem to matter...)
Is this a reasonable way to do this sort of thing? How come I always
bomb to the exact same address? Should I go back to my C64?

One last clue: if I set up the server to only do the buffer fliping
every 10 V-blanks or so, I can slide the screen down as long as I don't
go too fast, and depth arranging seems to work (at least most of the time...)

What is happening when I'm moving the screen anyway?
