The good thing is that my implementation there is based in part on ThreadWin32, so it can't be too far off. It is inevitable with concurrent code that you will get different behavior at each run. The easiest things to debug are thread lockups, which can usually be diagnosed by staring at dumps of all the thread state. Harder is actual crashes like you are observing. If assertions can be used to monitor program invariants then it usually can be narrowed down. Unfortunately, I am not in a position to debug the ThreadWin32 code. Any help would be appreciated. The question is whether the crashes you see are in Trestle or ThreadWin32.

<DIV>Will any of this make any difference on Windows platform?</DIV>

<DIV>I tried a couple of days ago to update all sources and rebuild. Both Juno and Mentor still crash on both XP and Vista. If you run multiple times, you get different crash results. (So much for deterministic behavior.) Let me know if there is anything I can do to help debug/test.</DIV>
