Alex -- what did you do to fix this? When did it get checked in? How can I
verify this one?

Comment 2

[av (gone)]

I added
    if(whatever == null) return OUT_OF_MEMORY_ERROR;
after corresponding
    whatever = new CWhatever;

Was checked in 30 Jul 1999 16:51

well bust my buttons! so, if I load a couple of plug-ins and if I do not get any
errors that are mentioned, can I mark this little guy verified?

Comment 4

[av (gone)]

Is it Purify?

Comment 5

[rubydoo123]

I'll get one of the guys to run purify and take a look to see what they get

Comment 6

[rubydoo123]

we are awaiting the arrival of the PC so we can load and run purify.

Comment 7

[Eli Goldberg]

Per paulmac, we do not currently have a PC with Purify within our group.

While I could learn Purify to verify this bug (and actually would be quite happy
to do so!), I'm reassigning to the originator for verification. Good luck, Mr.
Hofmann. ;)
