Source crashing upon break point.

[Jazz]

I have been looking through SRB2's source in an attempt to figure out how more of it works than I know currently. The problem is, every time I try to place a break point and run the program stepwise, SRB2 completely locks up and I am unable to step through. Periodically, it gives me a "Segmentation Fault" error after I wind up killing the program through Task Manager.

I am using Dev-C++ with an unmodified 1.09.4 (not 1.09.4a if it matters) source. I am compiling in debug, not release, so I know that cannot be the problem. The program simply reaches the point where I set the break point and locks up. I cannot Alt-Tab to Dev-C++ to step through.

Anyone know how this problem might be solved?

The locking up is normal -- that's what breakpoints are designed to do. Running SRB2 in windowed mode should allow you to switch back to Dev-C++.

Didn't think to try that. Sure enough, it works.

Thanks.
