Hi IOhannes,

We are running pd0.34-4 and pd0.35 test 19 with gem0.85.
This problem seems to be operating system specific as we have just moved to windows xp and everything seems fine.
I suppose that this is probably going to be the best solution to the problem.

Thanks for your help

Matt

hi

which versions of both pd and gem are you using ?
you are right, that the first problem (crashing when opening subpatches)
occured with releases of GemPlus (which is obsolete now, in case someone
has not noticed yet) and i never really understood where/why it crashed

it never occured to me on Mark's precompiled versions (gem<=0.85)
but the problem seemed to be gone with gem-0.87 and pd-0.35test4 (or
something, i hope this reflects my setting at home)
