microBlocks Crashes

Hi John

As I was working on my latest program, I started experiencing mb crashes. Crashes happened during the EDITING of the program, not while running it. They happened several times in a row. I kept terminating the program and restarting it. Then after maybe 6 or 8 occurrences it stopped happening and the editing continued without any problems.

It first starts with the following error msgs in the command.com window:

Memory cleared messages are because I was trying to clear it in small steps trying to prevent the crash.

After a few more block moves in the editor, it totally crashes and displays rolling messages in the command.com window.

Since it got way too long to capture, I am placing a section here where I deleted the repeating end portion:

In case it is helpful, I am enclosing the Task Mgr window showing the Program stats:

Please advise if any more info is needed to address the problem.

If you want the offending program, I can send it to you.

Since the problem seems to indicate some sort of memory shortage (my assumption), is there a SIZE limit to the programs ?

I am sure there always is some sort of limit, but I do not think what I have is that big or is doing anything resource consuming.
