Are you using an old(er) version of rebol -MAx --- You can either be part of the problem or part of the solution, but in the end, being part of the problem is much more fun.

I guess you forgot the "latest" word in the last sentence ? hm, I used to get these errors often when coding glass with the older versions of rebol/view. do you have an example of code which causes this? sometimes? My guess as to why it doesn't always occur is that Garbage Collection usually waits for a large amount or ram to clean up before doing its thing. So probably, the GC doesn't occur each time you run the sensitive code. In larger apps it would happen more often. -MAx

Hi DJ, R> How can I avoid this kind of error? R> Invalid data type during recycle I don't know that anyone knows the exact cause of that. RT has been trying to track it down for a long time (it annoys them too :), but it appears very infrequently. What is the code doing where it happens? -- Gregg

Re: Invalid data type during recycle Strange thing guys, I just add this error with ALTME this morning ! It's the first time I see it (and hope the last). DideC

I see it with Altme about once a week during startup. IOS does it at times when opening Conference or Messenger. Restarting the program usually fixes it. Though on an earlier (I think) version of REBOL/Link it could happen three or four times in a row. There is no pattern that I have noticed, other than large files being handled at the point of failure. Sunanda.

With Altme I notice it happens when you first start if you try to select a group before it has finished loading.

my guess is that is has to do with objects. The reason being that when I was heavily working with glass (which is nothing but objects) I had the error rather often, although the 1.2.1 release did do wonders about reducing the amount of errors I had. I've had it once or twice in a year in my code, and IRC its always in code where there are objects being handled. maybe it has something to do with using methods outside of the object, this is a non-standard thing I do often. example: my-func: get in object 'method but I have no guarantees/proof, just a subconscious hunch. -MAx --- You can either be part of the problem or part of the solution, but in the end, being part of the problem is much more fun.
