What program is it? Some badly-ported shell tools will crash the machine if run from Workbench. Change the 'Start From:' cycle gadget to Shell and add the tootype DONOTPROMPT if you don't want the 'Execute Command...' dialog to come up.

If you've been rewriting code, then it seems pretty likely there's a bug hiding somewhere. Try a debugger, or possibly SnoopDos (enable all functions) to see where things are going wrong.

If it is a stack issue, be sure to press Enter after increasing the stack value - sometimes the string gadgets get dumb and only actually change if you do that.

@ EDanall

I'm not sure about what debuggers are available. vbcc and DICE are the only free Amiga C compilers I can think of, but I don't know if they include debuggers.

Maybe start a new thread in the Development forum?
