Revolution CRASH - was Re: about collision routines.

[A.C.T.]

Hi,

I downloaded the "asteroids" stack, being sure I could learn something 
from it.

> go stack url http://www.inspiredlogic.com/rev/starbattle.rev

(I downloaded it, did not type the go stack command in the IDE since 
internet connections are EXTREMELY expensive here and I use a satellite 
proxy to quickly download what I need)

In fact I did learn something: I started the stack, used the mouse to 
click on "Start Game", waited a few seconds until something appeared on 
the screen and press "cursor left". Result: Revolution used up to 95% of 
CPU time, the stack stopped working completely, restoring dev tools was 
not possible any longer and I had to kill the complete instance using 
the task manager.
This is 100% reproducable on my main machine: Win XP Pro, 1GB RAM, 240 
GB HD space (90GB free), 2.6GHz AMD Athlon, NVidia TI4600 video card, 
two monitors attached (Desktop spreading).

I did not have time to dig into the code (since I don't understand 
Transcript anyway it would not help me much, I guess), but maybe someone 
on this list is able to explain what happens?
