Subject: How to debug Clipper record locking problem
Date: Mon, 19 Jul 2004 10:34:25 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1090254865.31340.6.camel@SweetAdeline> (raw)

I just installed 1.3.1 including all CVS updates as of 2004-07-18 and
tested my Clipper application.  A problem still exists when it tries to
lock a single DBF record in protected mode (DPMI memory=14MB).  When it
issues the dbrlock() function, requesting that a single record be
locked, the application freezes as though in an infinite loop.  I must
use dosdebug or kill the process to escape.

Strangely, if I use freedos the problem does not occur.  Only when I use
an existing Win98 or DOS 6.22 partition can I recreate the problem. 
Also, if I write a simple test program that only issues the dbrlock()
function request, it works fine... the error only occurs with my 4-MB
EXE.

What debug flags should I use to isolate the problem?  If I turn on all
flags, the resulting output is several million bytes long.
