Re: [MiNT] Possible pppd based my-system crashes

[Jim DeClercq <jimd@panix.com>]

Hello

No, that problem has not gone away. It involves "tcp_sendseg 
number-number outside window number-number" with the two window 
numbers being the same, so there is no window in that window.

It is a fatal error, attributed to MiNT or AESSYS or toswin2, and 
I did RTFM, which attributes this sort of thing to stack 
overruns, so I set out to increase stack sizes. pppd now has 
256K. n_aes has 24, toswin2 128k, and MiNT cache 8192. This has 
made absolutely no difference, and whatever it does that does 
this happens only when I am typing words, over ppp, by way of 
pppd, to New York City, USA, by way of Missouri. I can delete 
e-mail, read newsgroups, and do anything other than type words 
for very long.

MiNT 1.15.12, TT030, HDDriver, n_aes, Thing (with Kobald, which I 
like). I do not suspect the keyboard buffer, assuming there is 
only one, because that one was responible for the Phantom Typist 
system halt problem, and that has not been seen in a very long 
while, because every GDOS program ever written has trapped calls 
to that register, and diverted them to a properly written buffer 
structure. Have the latest and last version of NVDI, so that is 
fixed.

I am out of things to try. Any wild guesses?

This typed using the STiNG stack, which works fine.
