1. open Organ-Izer
2. load a database (or create one)
3. Type a large amount of useless data into the "find"
text box (to play it safe, the maximum of 30, 000
characters of repetitious "ffffddddd" or other useless
text)
4. check the check box "use regular expressions"
5. click "Find"

The above causes (on my xp computer running sp2) to
close Organ-Izer.

    I tried to reproduce the bug with more than 60 000
    characters but it did not close. I'm guessing that the regex
    engine/app ran out of memory and thus was closed. Did it
    give any error messages?

    I tested it with the following machine:

    Dual P3 800Mhz
    1GB SDRAM Reg. ECC
    Windows XP Pro SP2

    No error messages. It just completely closed without any
    sign at all. I'm running the same OS, but my PC has the
    following:

    1.79 GHZ
    512 MB RAM

    I basically used the maximum allowed in the search box.

    I just wanted to try this on another PC.

    I tried the same process on another computer with the following:

    OS: Windows XP Pro SP2
    RAM: 1 GB
    Processor: 3.2 GHZ P4

    The same thing happened.
