[Texmacs-dev] TeXmacs for Windows - bug reports

[Bill Page]

Dan,

Ok, I am back. I am using the same protocol as before.

I start TeXmacs and immediately go the the Configuration
option under Help. I cursor around there for a while
(pretending to worry about how to modify the cursor).
Then I try various menu options that "might" have
something to do with this such as "view", and "edit
preferences". Then I open a new document and start
typing some test text. I do this for a while and then
I start pointing at various tool buttons at the top
of the window, reading each pop-up text. Etc. etc.
After about 1 minute or two a failure occurs.

I started texmacswin32.exe from the command line with
the --debuglog option (or at least I tried to :-()
The first time I just entered -debuglog and it did
not produce a log file, but instead I got the following
message

 Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
   Runtime Error!
   Program: C:\Program Files\TeXmacs\texmacswin32.exe
   R6025
   - pure virtual function call

and TeXmacs quits. I looked for the log file (there
was none) then I realized my error.

On the next attempt I started texmacswin32 again from
the command line, this time with the correct --debuglog
option. I repeated my test protocol as described above.
This time it took longer (it sometimes does) but eventually
I got the "silent abort" effect. TeXmacs just quit.

But now I look at the log file and this is what I got

I hope this helps you to see what is going wrong.
Perhaps these are two separate problems?
