Re: 'system' hangs in a Windows Tk app

I saw the same thing with a Perl/Tk application when I upgraded to ActiveState's 5.8.8. The code was working in 5.8.7, but would hang in 5.8.8. I reverted to 5.8.7 (I don't have the time to go chasing bugs in other people's code.)

Time for a bug report, perhaps?

Thanks, swampyankee. I'm a little gunshy about declaring something as a bug and it's nice to get corroboration before submitting a report. I did so (my bug) and ActiveState said it was similar to a bug reported six days ago. (previous bug)	[reply]

I submitted mine (which was also categorized as a duplicate of the same bug. Now, to see how long it takes them to fix it…… emc " The most likely way for the world to be destroyed, most experts agree, is by accident. That's where we come in; we're computer professionals.

There does seem to be a few minor issues with AS releases right now, Jan Dubois made a comment about a new build this week on one of their own mailing lists. I have a monstrous app in Perl/TK on WinXP and I was looking to change up, but not till it is stable. I had a lockup issue on a test machine so I have pursued it no further. jdtoronto	[reply]
