Re: General Protection Fault when using the -M switch in SQRW 2.5

Hi,

last week I wrote this:

I tried everything, and finally I solved the problem. I think
it could be intreresting for all to know about it as it costed
me a couple of days to solve it.

I always included the -DEBUG switch in my calls, when I removed
it everything worked fine. I tried to remove some other switches
to (to see if it had something to do with the length of the command
line or so), but got the GP Fault all the time, until I remove the
-DEBUG switch. So apperantly there are some bug in SQRW that gives
a GP Fault when you combine the -DEBUG switch and the M switch.

I haven't tried it with later versions of SQRW, hopefully they have
corrected it.
