  • Weird problems with Squish

    From Sean Dennis@1:18/200 to All on Mon Dec 27 00:22:38 2004
    Hello, All.

    I'm having a really, really weird problem with Squish and OS/2. Squish/2 will run fine for a while, then suddenly, I'll get this:

    + 27 Dec 00:20:38 SQSH Begin, Squish/386 v1.11 (mem=-1443808K - main=00020010) # 27 Dec 00:20:38 SQSH Scanning messages

    + 27 Dec 00:21:05 SQSH End. Toss=0 (0/s), sent=0 (0/s), mem=-1443924K

    Here's the weird part:

    -If I do this using GoldEd+/EMX at the command prompt (using a batch file), this error occurs.

    -If I use FleetStreet, which is PM (GUI) based, this doesn't happen. I use a REXX script to do this under FleetStreet.

    -If I use Squish/386, there are no errors at all.

    I am wondering if there's a problem with OS/2 running out of handles (I've seen
    it before on here, I think; I know it's rare, but something is making me think about that specific problem).

    Any ideas or suggestions? Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks,
    Sean

    You said:

    Check for multiple instances of the emx runtimes. It could be that you have a couple of different versions, and that the one GoldED is using makes unzip barf. Squish nor Fleetstreet use emx, so unzip gets the one it likes. Once the
    dll gets pulled in, it isn't replaced in that session if another program calls it.
