Re: the real answer is probably some shared memory corruption
DEADBEEF?
Am I remembering right? One of the Amiga GURUs made a nifty utility that wrote "DEADBEEF" in hex to all newly allocated memory. And a different different pattern to the areas just past your allocated storage.
It's been a bit so I may be off on which was which. But I do remember if you saw "DEADBEEF" while debugging it was a big hint as to what you did wrong.
