Javascripts causing segmentation faults.
Greeting all:
I wrote a web version of "Bubble Wrap" as a demo to test some Javascript
routines. The script works fine for many pops, but eventually, the script
will crash the Netscape browser (with a segmentation fault). The crash
seems to be due to memory allocation, but I'm not sure. When I increase
the number of bubbles per sheet, less pops are needed to crash Netscape.
I looked all over my script and could not find any errors. You can try
out the demo, and look at the source, at:
http://www.convoke.com/tiug/bubblewrap.html
You can also increase the number of bubbles per sheets, by changing
variables "M" & "N", which are the number of bubbles per row and
column respectively. My apology for the clink noise when you pop
the bubbles, I couldn't find any popping sound files. :-(
BTW, I am running the "unknown-386BSD" version of Netscape 2.0
on a NetBSD 1.1 (Unix) PC. And Netscape only seems to crash with my
script. Does this script crash Netscape on other platforms?
Thanks in advance. Sincerely, Alicia.
