Author Memory Violation

Since installing version 2.5 earlier today I have gotten frequent "memory violation" messages while I am debugging a program. I have never encountered this before, so it must be a new feature of 2.5. Any ideas as to what I can do to get rid of this anno
ying issue?

It will go away in the next release, I believe. At least most of those
errors. There's some weirdness going on under the hood ... R&D has been
dealing with it.

Check your code for any division by zero. I was getting this error
frequently, finally determined that was the cause. It was not so obvious, as
the error popped up at various times after the division by zero occured.
There are other causes repored by others, one having to to with API externs
I believe.

Now I am discovering that just adding "set step on" to a program to call the debugger often causes a crash.

Jim,

Someone posted here that a msgbox just before the set step on can sometimes prevent that. I found it helped but not always.
