What gives?
It would be interesting to see what gdb says. Try 'bt', 'info reg' and 'disass address address' where the two addresses are on either side of the PC when it crashes. Also, be sure to compile the VM in debug mode when testing. There are a ton of asserts that are compiled out in release mode and they can often give you a clue as to what is going wrong. > > > Thanks again. > > . > > > -- Erik Corry, Software Engineer Google Denmark ApS.
