Crashed -- No message on screen, Cumuus just died!

[daj]

Hi Steve

The Cumulus process just seemed to disappear. I got an email from 'Toolbox' to say Cumulus was not running and when I connected to the PC, sure enough, it was gone -- nothing on screen.

I had a quick peak at the ELF and see...

Code: Select all

EOutOfResources
Not enough storage is available to process this command.

ELF file attached just in case it is important. Cumuls had been running for about 5 days. I rarely shut it down and it has been known to run for weeks with no issue.

Mine did the same thing so many times that I went back to the 1.9.0 version.

Mine just crashed too. But there was a dialog on the screen, the same as I have had before. Same as the previous time, I had left the main and 'graphs' screen active. Normally I minimise Cumulus to the systray. I'm connecting via remote desktop.

On clicking OK, Cumulus closes.

Same problem here. Attached is a diags file which may help. Going back to an earlier build overnight.

Later: There are a few error messages in the second zip too. Why so many WU errors Steve?

[RayProudfoot]

Just an update... I couldn't find an earlier version so kept 962 running. It's still running now.

Well, this is all very bad news, I thought it seemed to be settling down. One day everyone's posting about how well it's running, the next day, this.

I'm not overly concerned -- my Cumulus never crashes, and to be honest you do expect the odd one from any windows app

I just wondered if this one was important in the beta cycle.

The Cumulus process just seemed to disappear.

But you seem to be running build 957?

[steve]

Mine just crashed too.

Yours is also from build 957, and from some time ago?

OMG! Just shoot me now

upgrading

[steve]

Same problem here.

Which same problem?

Don't know. You have so many errors in there that I don't know where to start.

This one might be easy for you to fix, though:

13/11/2010 23:28:25.465 : Error processing C:\Program Files\Cumulus\web\cumuluswebtags.txt Error: Line too long on line 106

The latest build may well do the same, but I have fixed a few crashes since 957. I haven't intentionally fixed the one in your dump, but who knows. It's so much easier to fix when the crash is in Cumulus itself.

[mcrossley]

Opps, upgrading now... I could reproduce my crash 'almost' at will in 957, lets see if the latest build fixes it.

[daj]

It's so much easier to fix when the crash is in Cumulus itself.

Thanks - I'm now running the latest beta

So was the crash not Cumulus? Or was it a related component?

[steve]

Or was it a related component?

Yes, in the component which calculates the moon phase. Or so it appeared, anyway; I think perhaps the call stack was corrupt, it didn't really make sense.
