Re: Help: Drop objects

[Chimera]

CL,

   I tried the same thing Marcus did.  I took your code (from the previous 
email)
and then made a "Worldstate" object.  The object was nothing more than Counter 
from
Template in swarmapps-1.1.
I renamed it and added a memory hog, "double takeUpMemory[500][500]", to it.  I
added a count and a print to main.m so I could see what was going on real time 
and
ran it.  I killed it after 100,000 iterations.  There were no problems.  I am 
using
Swarm-1.1 on a 400 MHz PC running Win98.  I suggest that you replace your
"Worldstate" with something simple, such as the object I used.  If you still 
have
the problem, then it would seem likely that the trouble is machine specific.  
You
might want to find a different type of machine and try your code on it.  If the
problem goes away, you might want to post a copy of Worldstate (or if it is
sensitive material, just send it to Marcus) to see if any of us can see what 
might
be causing the problem.

Cheers,

   D3
