I have had a similar problem with the allegro 3 + wip May30 version.
When saving a datafile to disk, sometimes the grabber produces
a crash report (a bit like the usual one from a GPF),
in tiny green letters at the top of the screen, (I couldn't read them,
else I would have posted it here) and then hangs completely. Recompiling
did't work. I have no idea what could be causing these crashes. Normally,
you yould expect the Allegro error handler to intercept the GPF, and
return safely to the system, but it doesn't happen. Could this be a real
bug? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
