Summary: mysterious application exit

Initial Comment:
I have had a number of occurances where I am trying 
to jump which I have a chat command line open and 
inadvertantly hit a backspace key after the tab to 
jump.

I believe I "may" have identified the cause of my 
mysterious exits:

-backspace-bug.html

I would suggest a code fix to ignore any backspace 
sent immediately after a tab.

I have had this problem with 1.7e2, 1.72fx and 1.7e4
all on WIn32 (Win2KPro/WinXP)

Eric.

OK, I am now running WinXP SP1 with the latest Microsoft 
signed nVidia GeForce4 drivers. I have also tried the latest 
directly from nVidia as well as the latest Detonator drivers for 
the last 3 months. I am constantly seeing BZFlag just die. 
Nothing consistant causes it. It occurs any numerous maps. 
There are occaisions where I can play for several hours and 
then suddenly BZ will die every 5 minutes.

BZ doesn't report its application fault anywhere. Event log, 
core file, nothing. When it dies I see the same Gamma 
problem. Luckily nVidia includes a desktop widget that lets 
you restore hardware defaults with a right click on an icon.

I have now experienced this problem on 1.7e2, e4, e6 and e7.

I would be happy to capure more significant data but BZ 
doesn't generate any. Can a developer work with me to try to 
resolve this. Its really pissing me off.

EAK.

P.S. Hey Chris! WHASSUP!

i wasn't aware of bzflag exiting unexpectedly like that.  i
not so sure the windows bug you indicate is the culprit,
though, since that bug is related to console output which
doesn't happen in this situation.  also, that bug causes a BSOD.
