Hi!

This thing has been bothering me for quite a while. I have made 3
3d-engines during my time as a coder, and all three has eventually ended
up this way! The two first where developed under Watcom 11 and the
latest under DJGPP2.

I guess this might be a newbie question as i must have happened to most
of you who have made something large.

The thing is that when my project becomes large (a few thousand lines)
it always starts to act the same way.
All of a sudden the program will start crashing at points in the program
that havn't been touched for a long time. My 3ds-reader can't find the
correct chunks in the files anymore although i havn't changed a line. 

Even more odd is that usually the program chrashes with a Page Fault the
first time you run it after compilation. The second time it will usually
run, but the screen remains black (no nice gouraud shaded objects:-).
The error this time seams to be that the file isn't read correctly.

This symptoms are exactly the same for all of my three engines, and it
should be stated that none of the code from the latest engine goes into
my current engine...

Please!!! Can someone atleast point me in the direction of the GIANT
error!
