Re: [Bug-gnubg] How best to run a large GNU v GNU session/Memory Leaks?

[grefow]

Whenever I have gnubg play a +100-game session against itself (gnubg0 vs gnubg1; match length = 1; player strength = Supremo for both)  it causes my Win98 system to become unstable. In fact, I now automatically reboot the system immediately upon finishing a gnubg session of any length. The couple of times that I let it play much longer sessions, my system locked up completely.

 

Here's a copy of a report previously submitted, since it's the kind of thing I typically see when gnubg craps out on me:

 

     bgnubg 0.14 (Jul 2 build)

     While analysing bg00859 session.

     GNUBG caused an invalid page fault in

     00de0000 00000000 00000660 00f18780 00000080

 

Is there any other kind of detail that I can provide for you when this occurs? Any way to configure gnubg so that it auto-generates it's own error log, tracks it's own memory use, etc?
