Topic: SF 2.9 crashes when Terminating a run

Jeff,

Thanks for the new version of SF 2.9.

However, it may contain a 'bug'.

When executing a program in SF 2.9, it was observed that SF consistently and reproducibly 'crashes' when the 'Terminate' button is implemented to end the running program.

Frank,

I'm seeing this too.  I'll try to get a bug fix ready tomorrow.

Re: SF 2.9 crashes when Terminating a run

Frank,

A new build is available on the Download page that fixes this issue.  The problem arose when the Terminate button was  pressed, clearing the currently running process.  The timer used to check for program output, though, was not stopped, and it would attempt to read from the dead process.  Accessing a structure related to the dead process caused an exception that crashed Simply Fortran.  I just had to check that the process was dead prior to trying to access the process for reading.

Thank you for reporting the bug!
