[Virtualacorn-list] Mac VRPC and the UMULL crash

[Martin]

Calling Mac VRPC users!

A problem was raised with me that my !Rover application crashed the VRPC
emulator, on a Mac G4 using StrongArm emulation. 

After some investigation (thanks to DaveL) it seems that when a UMULL
instruction is executed on the StrongArm emulator, the emulator fails
totally, but the Arm710 and Arm7500 emulators do not. The UMULL
instruction is used in the initialisation of my ArmSort module which is
RMloaded by !Rover.!Run (and other applications, eg !SiteMatch).

I have a small BASIC test program, and on my RPC, Iyonix, and Windows
VRPC it all works perfectly, but I do not have a Mac. 

Therefore I would like help from other users to run the test program on
Mac VRPC installations (both G4/G5 and Intel processors, and on each of
the Arm710, Arm7500 and StrongArm emulations) to verify how common this
problem is.

Note that if the problem does exist, it will crash your VRPC emulation!

Please let me know if you can help, and specify which processor you have.

Thanks
Martin
