Actually, my main program crashes in the same place every time, even when I change things.
I have some C code in my program, could that be the cause of f bad memory handling?
Solving this sort of problem is somewhat outside my scope of expertise so any advice is welcome.
The first time I had this problem was with a much shorter test program that I was experimenting with C interfaces suggesting that my C code might be the problem.
I'll see if I can investigate that.
