Okay, gGo crashed today whilst I was using 'edit game' for a game that I'd just finished observing. I looked at the log and found a bunch of Java Exception messages, which I have pasted below: CHARSET SET TO UTF-8 CHARSET SET TO UTF-8 java.lang.OutOfMemoryError java.lang.OutOfMemoryError java.lang.OutOfMemoryError java.lang.OutOfMemoryError java.lang.NullPointerException at sun.java2d.pipe.DrawImage.copyImage(Unknown Source) at sun.java2d.pipe.DrawImage.copyImage(Unknown Source) at sun.java2d.pipe.ValidatePipe.copyImage(Unknown Source) at sun.java2d.SunGraphics2D.drawImage(Unknown Source) at sun.java2d.SunGraphics2D.drawImage(Unknown Source) at ggo.T.h(Unknown Source) at ggo.O.b(Unknown Source) at ggo.O.a(Unknown Source) at ggo.o.b(Unknown Source) at ggo.utils.e.run(Unknown Source) at java.awt.event.InvocationEvent.dispatch(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventQueue.dispatchEvent(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpOneEventForHierarchy(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEventsForHierarchy(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEvents(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEvents(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.run(Unknown Source) java.lang.OutOfMemoryError As you can imagine, my game board is pretty messed up : P Hope these help - somehow! - Michael ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter Strempel" <zotan@xxxxxx> To: <ggo-discussion@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, December 09, 2002 3:09 PM Subject: [ggo-discussion] Re: sgf editor sometimes crashes... at least when editing from game in progress. > > On Sun, Dec 08, 2002 at 02:50:00AM -0000, Michael Camacho wrote: > > > > This has happened to me a few times with the post-sourceforge releases...
