You can try to use the latest /CORE xper, which has some bugfixes. When it
still crashes you can try the script
http://proton.cl-ki.uni-osnabrueck.de/REBOL/bugfixes.r
Which trys to fix some GC-Problems.
If this doesn't work, you can try this:
- First try _not_ to use %bugfixes.r
- add recycle/off at the beginning of your script
- add recycle in all functions and loops
You can also try to only add this at the beginning of your program:
---snip---
recycle/off
func: func [
"Defines a user function with given spec and body." [catch]
spec [block!] {Help string (opt) followed by arg words (and opt type
and str
ing)}
body [block!] "The body block of the function"
][
insert body: copy body [if 1 = random 100 [recycle]]
throw-on-error [make function! spec body]
]
---snap---
This will turn of the recycle and recycles from time to time when one of
your functions is called.
And last but not least you can try to find out which part of your program
causes the crash, create a small demonstration script and send this to
[feedback--rebol--com]
Hope that helps.
