Tracking down a crash in 6.6.2

[Dar Scott]

Hi, Folks!

LiveCode 6.6.2 is crashing for me and I’l like to report a bug and especially want to work round it.  But I’m having trouble tracking it down.

A search for “crash” for 6.6.2 gm 1 did not bring up anything I recognized as being similar.

I’m wondering if anybody has seen anything like this.

This is occurring in a handler called by a sent-in-time message (repeated).  

The crash log shows an EXC_BAD_ADDRESS in _platform_strcmp.  At first it seemed to be in the middle of setting the default Ethernet address.  I added some code to help in debugging and the crash point seemed to have moved.  In all cases so far it has been in _platform_strcmp in MCR_compile.  I think it tends to happen during mouse movement or clicking.  I am not sure, but maybe it doesn’t happen every time.  

I worry about a corrupted stack, though I don’t know any reason why I would have one.  

I wanted to get some better info before I report this.  

Does this look familiar to anybody?

I’m going to try writing to the console and see what error messages are near that.
