<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi All,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>There are two different problems, each resulting in
the same error message (below).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The crashes produce the following
message:</FONT></DIV>
