Mike- I wish I knew. I have frequently seen the same kinds of "random" changes produce better results. For example, I had one piece of code that used a switch statement- 19 statements in all.

I had a strange experience today. My program likes to crash a lot. I accept this as a fact of life now; part of it is the difficulty in debugging it, and part seems to be the beta-ness of legOS. However, today, I tracked down one particularly evil (...) (24 years ago, 14-Jul-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

Hey, everyone. I was just checking out the lugnet page, and was thinking it might be a good idea to update the LegOS links. Perhaps include a link to SourceForge, and fix the HOWTO link. What do you think? And how does one go about this? ROSCO (24 years ago, 12-Jul-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

(...) The problem is due to a bug in gcc 2.95. The assembly version of memcpy fixes the LegOS kernel, but all your user programs are subject to the same bug. Until it's fixed in gcc, you're stuck with egcs. Regards ROSCO (24 years ago, 12-Jul-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
