I've a bad memory and can't recall what I told PIL at the time.

You can wrap try/except around the calls that (by debugging) you know are the culprits, but a segfault is a segfault and bam! you are at the command line again. > I haven't really found a solution, > just have tried to prevent corrupted files in the system for now.

I think, though, that the answer may reside in the basic theme of this thread: runapp result = runActualApp( ) while True: if result == allokay: break else: <Start handling the horror> Unless a segfault goes through that too, like Krypton through Superman. \d -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
