Pagestream4 Crash and MuForce Hit in 3.1.4
« on: November 10, 2019, 12:24:34 AM »
I'm attaching a MuForce hit.  In Pagestream, I do a copy of a large object (group that includes text and graphics).  The Clipboard shows 542,270 bytes of data.   Copy goes okay.  When I do a Paste in Pagestream I get the hit.   If anybody knows any workaround or what the issue could be from the log, please let me know.  I'll probably try with an increase in the stack.  Would be nice to see Pagestream development come back to life again ...

I don't know if this 3.1.4 specific or not.

I loaded up OS3.9 env. and then did the same copy/paste operation in Pagestream and the paste went through -- no hang.   

I'll have to see if I can use a Loadmodule in 3.1.4 of the older clipboard.device to see if any issue.

Oops … forgot clipboard.device is on disk.  Anyways, I tired it with v38.8 in 3.1.4 and it worked!

I now tried clipboard.device in 38.4 in FinalWriter.  This works but with 45.3, it doesn't.

For the FinalWriter case, there is no MuForce hit.   Instead, I get a flashing screen upon pasting.   How to reproduce in FinalWriter:

1) Import Object --> import a large IFF picture (in my case it was a 821k)
2) Do a "Copy"
3) Do a "Paste" --> screen flashes and object does not get pasted.   In 38.4 it does.

For Pagestream, when I do a copy and then paste of a large object, it does give me MuForce / MuGa hit.

Great, thanks!  Any likelihood of a maintenance release before 3.2?  Like a 3.1.4.1.1 (or however it would be called)

I'm attaching a separate hit that I'm seeing in pagestream.  This hit is coming from loading a pagestream document.   Not sure if size related but have been loading 16MB and 43MB document files (which contain lots of pictures).

And I don't know if OS component or Pagestream causing issue. I'm running in 3.1.4.1 OS env.

Thanks for a taking a look.  This is the dump with SegTracker.   

Just to further understand, is it true to assume errors like this could cause memory corruption which the user could see crashes later on but would not know it started here?  I can't tell if error is coming from Pagestream components or the utility 45.2 and so wondering what the severity is if this can't be fixed since Pagestream is not being maintained anymore.

On this A4000T / 040, when I load the same large files, it is always reproducible.  I can try more files or maybe an A3000  / 030 machine.

Thanks -- yes will continue to take a look out if see anything similar.   I have recently been putting back my phase5 060/ppc card and now when I do the same thing, I'm not getting any MuGa hit.

As of now I pulled all fast memory except for the PPC card memory.   

On this A4000T / 040, when I load the same large files, it is always reproducible.  I can try more files or maybe an A3000  / 030 machine.

That is not quite what I meant. I mean "without pagestream".

A few other hits I got in Pagestream and also FinalWriter97 (these don't look like the previous issue).

1) For Pagestream, this happened upon multiple closes of documents and loading of documents.
2) For FW97, I was seeing this after trying to close a window with a large document where I had enabled the pictures (objects) to be loaded.

I'm just focusing on the FW one for the time being.   I actually had SegTracker in the startup-sequence and I have things in this order.

SetPatch
SegTracker
MuForce  (and I actually had stacklines=32)
MuGa

What is strange is if I remove MuGa from my startup, it doesn't seem to crash. I tried several times and FW is not crashing.  I am using the MMU libs 68060 library., etc.   Once I have MuGa there in the startup then it crashes.   

Also, what is strange is the "FW97_Process.1" does now show up in the SegTracker List.  There is a "FinalWriter' and a bunch of FWLibs in the list but not the "FW97_Process.1"

I have another dump but with stacklines=128.
