[PD] Urgent help needed (Pd/Gem) crash

[Matthew Paradis]

Hi All,

We are currently having some serious problems with pd/gem running on windows 98.  This seems to apply to all of the available versions of both distributions (old and new) and on a variety of computer set-ups.
There are two different problems, each resulting in the same error message (below).
Firstly when a patch is loaded, it is not possible to open a sub patch without crashing pd.  I noticed that this has been announced on the list several times but without a definitive solution.
Secondly a patch can crash whilst rendering gem graphics, even though there is no specific event in terms of memory or processor usage at the time of the crash.
The crashes produce the following message:
*******************************************************************************

If anyone has any ideas or feels that they could help given a more detailed machine specification your assistance would be most appreciated.
