You have to be subscribed to send messages to the list - like with almost every other mailing list.

Do you have any suggestions?

Subscribe... :)

Seriously, I have the mailing list on Cc, but you probably won't see the replies unless you are subscribed.

Hi all,

When I try to load the file load.lsp, ACL7 crashes on me. I've narrowed it down to the call to DllEnsureInit. Has anyone seen this behavior?

Not me, but I don't have ACL7 anymore. Can't you use ACL8?

I noticed from the change log file that there may have been a recent change made to that function involving "STA"?

Yeah. I wonder how this could affect AllegroCL, though.

I have RDNZL.dll in the Allegro directory, and it appears to load fine. It's only when the import file comes along that the crash happens.

It might be that AllegroCL only really loads the DLL when it comes across the first FFI call.

Are you sure you have the newest version of the DLL (from RDNZL 0.10.6) in the Allegro directory? Do you have the same problems if you use the old DLL?

I do have VC#.Net 2005 Express edition on my machine. I haven't recompiled the DLL; I'm just mentioning that in the off chance that the presence of .Net 2.0 could be relevant troubleshooting info.

Both versions of .NET should be able to co-exist peacefully. I have VS 2005 on my machine but I still use the DLL compiled with VS 2003 without problems.

Cheers, Edi.
