You can try setting LIBC_THREAD_MIN_STACK_SIZE to a larger size then the default of 4096 bytes. Perhaps as high as 65636, though 32768 or 16384 might be enough.

No POPUPLOG for any of the examples with the 'Maximum call stack size exceeded' error. Tried the 'emxstack' size increase trick, but it made no difference on any example I tried...

I need to review the code that triggers the 'stack size exceeded' error - I think it may be a furphy...

Applications / Re: Thunderbird - SM email makes system trap in Warp 4.52 but ok in Arcaos5

« Last post by Dave Yeo on January 16, 2025, 08:12:29 pm »

Easiest to get the highmem.exe and smturbo.exe from your ArcaOS install. X:\sys\apps\anturbo\smturbo.exe and x:\usr\bin\highmem.exe. Put highmem.exe on your path and smturbo.exe in your SM directory.
With SM closed, run highmem -c \path\to\seamonkey\*dll and then put smturbo.exe in your startup folder. You can run it too after the highmem command.
This will load the SM dlls into highmem and keep them there even after closing SM. This is important to work around kernel bugs in the 4.52 kernel.
And yes, ArcaOS has smturbo install (and after installing uninstall) in the SeaMonkey desktop folder. You do have to run it yourself and possibly you did.

Hi Dave

Memory issue? Are you marking the DLL's to load high?

believe not, I would need a refresh on how-to

Are you using smturbo?

don't know smturbo, can you advice the use?

And of course, have you tried a different profile

yes, seems not solving the issue.
Anyhow still do not understand why OK in ArcaOS5 and KO in WARP4.52 , unless ArcaOS5 itself applies highmem feature.
Thank you much

Hi all

I installed OO v3.18 but as soon i try to open a prog like cmath it closes the program directly.

I see this is the log file

 Process:  D:\PROGRAMS\APACHEOPENOFFICE.4\PROGRAM\SOFFICE.BIN (12/01/2020 00:13:05 263,440)
 PID:      48 (72)
 TID:      01 (1)
 Priority: 200

 Filename: C:\USR\LIB\ICUUC.DLL (12/10/2020 12:52:02 1,111,946)
 Address:  005B:1C519FCB (0001:000E9FCB)
 Cause:    Attempted to read from 00000017
           (not a valid address)


I use the ICUUC,dll from the latest rpm package

Any idea

Hardware / Re: USBCOM big problem

« Last post by Igor on January 16, 2025, 04:19:45 pm »

For the "Future Technology" device you should try USBSER.SYS instead of USBCOM.SYS.

I checked this configuration. Unfortunately, this does not work.

Code: [Select]

DEVICE=C:\OS2\BOOT\USBSER.SYS /V /Z /N:COM5
The system say:
SYS1620: The COM port specified is not installed.
