Actually, I'm using 0.2.4, last downloadable version. With this, the memory
eating problem is solved with my stated patch. Might be, that the new version
has the tm.c changes? (I just press "run" to stop my program, then "run" to
start it again, and it counts to 16 any time)
But I have found annother problem: If I put the RCX aside and try to start the
program the next day, it doesn't count to 1. It seems, that it can't allocate
1k of memory. Seems there is a memory leak or something. Today I have reloaded
the test program on a freshly installed legOS, didn't start it and wait to see
what's going on tomorrow...
Bye, Mike
