Re: Problems

I'm running Hercules 3.06 2009/07/11 with HercGUI 1.11.1.5265.

When I try to use the reader on 00C (ASCII EOF options) I get a
Hercules crash. I uploaded Hercules.dmp as dump00C.zip to the
file directory - please notify when it's safe to delete.

I seem to recall reading about this problem before, but a search
turned up too many hits to go through. I thought this was fixed,
or did I miss updating some files (e.g. HercRdr)?

The second problem is weirder. I use BlueZone to start six
sessions (each definition starts the next); the code used to be
single threaded, with each start triggered by completion of the
prior one. Now they start haphazardly, which makes it difficult
to get the sessions to match the terminal definitions (their
option for a specific device address, unlike TB's Vista, doesn't
work). When the assignments don't match, I power down the
machine, wait a second, and power up again (each session has a
different retry time delay), and on this restart they usually
come in in correct sequence. However, about 5% of the time, one
of the sessions won't connect, and instead I get a never ending
flood of console messages that makes it impossible to do any
work, and necessitating shutting Hercules down completely,
ending the terminal sessions, and starting from scratch:

** Win32 porting error: invalid call to 'w32_select' from
console.c(2076): mixed set(s)
console: DBG028: select: No error

Both problems have occurred on earlier releases, also.
