Yeah, I have encountered something like this, although I didn't have to
play MIDI to get this error. Under Windows, I do my DJ + Allegro
development in a DOS box (of course). Each time I start a DOS session I
first have to start up my TP6.0 IDE (I prefer it to RHIDE, easier to get
started with) BEFORE running the Allegro grabber. If I attempt to start
TP6.0 to edit files after running the grabber frist after starting the
session, the session crashes without any errors and I have to quit the
session and restart.

However, if I run TP6.0 FIRST, and then the grabber, rerunning TP6 gives
no problems. Does anyone have an idea about this?

Shawn? Any ideas?
