Folks,

I have a real nasty in my DGJPP programming environment.  I work on a
Windows 2000 laptop

About a month ago, while I was programming, I pressed F7 on RHIDE to compile
and go to the first instruction - and it said "Exiting due to signal
SIGSEGV" and wrote a whole lot of register stuff on my screen.  RHIDE was
still up.  When I killed the DOS window, restarted it and restarted RHIDE,
it immediately showed the same thing.  When I checked my files, my  C source
file had been overwritten with this register stuff and I had lost a lot of
work.

It has just happened again.  I have been working on this program all day,
and all I have to show for it is (this is the actual content of my C-source
file)....

Exiting due to signal SIGSEGV
General Protection Fault at eip=001afe60
eax=ff9b0000 ebx=ff9b0000 ecx=000001cc edx=ff9c0000 esi=00004000

App stack: [00097a14..00017a14]  Exceptn stack: [00017974..00015a34]

Quite frequently if I am single-stepping a program, it suddenly quits out to
the DOS screen.  If I restart RHIDE, everything is OK again, though it's a
bit of a nuicance.  Could this be related?

I'd certainly appreciate some help here.  I certainly don't want this to
happen too often!  This has just cost me six or seven hours.  When a program
fails, but can be restarted, it's a bother, but when it writes on top of
your work, that's a P.I.T.A!

Thanks,

Mike.
