[time-nuts] Lady Heather treats me badly.

[Gerhard Hoffmann]

Hi,

yesterday I did install LH on my Linux system: got the zip file, 
unpacked it, compiled LH

and after the usual ado I was able to connect to my Lucent KS-24361 pair.

But somehow it looks like she's slowly dying: first the azimuth/strength 
display

disappears; later the clock , the info in the upper left; then the 
traces of the

DAC etc become boring: after some hours just one green line.


Increasing the display size  leads to crash. F11 immediately and each 
time I tried.

The message then is "Stack thrashing detected - heather terminated".


The compiler adds some known constants around the allocated variables

and when they do not stay constant it assumes that the program writes

outside of its allocated data area.

Did that happen somewhere else? Any Ideas?

best regards, Gerhard
