[stuff deleted ...] Mark> Have I missed something? Sounds like your application is leaking memory, and is running out of swap space. Check your console window if this is what is happening. If so, you should link your application with libmalloc_cv.a and turn on malloc/free tracing in the Performance Panel. Then bring up Heap View and see where you are leaking memory. If you need help, let me know. kittu.. Well, thank you mightily! I never thought of looking on the console. Your diagnosis is incorrect (but I will add your advice to my bag of debugging tricks) but now I at least know the right question to ask. The error on the console is: WARNING: Process [art-devo.r4000] pid 1227 killed due to bad page read (errno:134) Is there a reasonable way using cvd to stop the process before it terminates and figure out, how I might be managing to do this (like a stack trace)? [My suspicion is that I am doing a Motif no-no, but I can't really begin to figure it out unless I have some clue as to where I am running into this problem Thanks. Mark.
