Hi Mike, your problem is not because of an error in legOS. But what you do is that you start your subroutines and then you leave main()! Leaving main means that all your allocated memory is freed.

Albert (...) yea, I see what you are getting at. I am sure that I was hitting the bumper while the threads were still alive, but I will check again. I think this also points out some of the dangers of just dumping in some poorly thought out dummy (...) (23 years ago, 17-Jan-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

two of your threads terminate shortly after being started (...) as far as I know, legOS provides no functionality for determining whether or not a thread is alive or not.
