When an application suffers this Win32 error 487 message, is it usually an indication of some glitch in cygwin1.dll, or is it as the message seems to indicate, either some sort of issue of not enough stack/heap space, or worse, some kind of access violation where the program is attempting to access memory it should not? Here's what Windows says about error # 487: # net helpmsg 487 Attempt to access invalid address. So it would appear that your last guess is the proper one. Can you reproduce it outside of Jabberd? -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
