Hello all,

OXP has surprised me and now locks up after a poll (N S)

Any experience in this matter, and how to fix?

Does it lock up or does it get itself in an infinite loop?

Have a look in "DEBUGLOG.TXT" and see if there's anything in there which
might give a clue. Also, see if there's an "errors.txt" file and if so, that may give a clue.

It just STOPPED responding to anything.

I'll repost what I shared with you in netmail for the benefit of any prospective users:

"Apparently DEBUGLOG.txt gets overwritten each time OXP starts. So, the contents of the old file (which may have been useful), was gone when I
killed the OXP process and relaunched the program.

It might be better to launch OXP from a batch file and saving the
DEBUGLOG.TXT from the last session to DEBUGLOG.001 etc.. and maybe even
keep copies for 10 sessions or so, before starting the program."


Anyway.. I am back in business with OXP after taking care of what I
"think" was the problem. <G>

Yes, it does get overwritten.

Hey, that's a good idea but please be aware that it can get *very* big, is
full of techno-babble and a lot of the content is in German.

Excellent, onward and upward ;-)

Uh oh.. That doesn't sound too good. Do you mean "infinite loop" can happen?

It most certainly can but from my own experiences, it's a rarity.

Is this "infinite loop" problem limited to WinXX systems? ..or does it happen in the linux version too?

I've known it happen on both the Windows and the Linux versions.

That's a fast turnaround from when I first encountered what I then
resigned to be an unfixable problem! And all because of lil' ol' me? LOL
