[Virtualacorn-list] Mac VRPC and the UMULL crash

I now have the results of 3 kind people running my small BASIC program to
test the UMULL instruction on Mac VA.

    MAC OS  Processor         RISC OS      Arm710     Arm7500  StrongArm 

    10.5.5  Intel             4.39         not tested   OK       OK
    10.5.5  Intel Core 2 Duo  Select 6.10    OK         OK       OK
    10.4.11 G4	               4.39           OK         OK     *Fails*

This seems to imply that Intel machines are ok, and G4 machines are not.

But it would be help Aaron diagnose this severe problem if he had even
more results.

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. It will only take a few minutes!

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

Thanks
Martin
