[M3devel] formsedit crash

[Jay K]

formsedit on SOLgnu very often fails. With current source.

-bash-3.00$ ./formsedit 


***
*** runtime error:
***    <*ASSERT*> failed.
***    file "../src/lego/POSIX/ScrollerVBTClass.m3", line 325
**

I added the assert. It is that a pointer is not NIL, on the line
before it is dereferenced.

I've also seen this on PPC_something (Darwin?) but haven't tried recently.
I might say it fails less often now, but it does still fail.

The range is now narrowed down to between Jan 20 and Feb 1 2007.

Jay, formsedit now works for me on I386_DARWIN.  Not sure what you are trying to track down now.

Which is just a few changes.
I fear it is the switch from user threads to pthreads on 1/23/2007.
I'll narrow it down further though, and then try user threads on Solaris
(which will probably require repairing initialization order to make them work
again anyway).

The formsedit crash appears to have started between 12/1/2006 and 3/1/2007.
I will confirm and further narrow this down over the next few days.
I've been building various dates/versions and seeing how they act.
