#6 Crash when closing the Tasks window

[Anonymous]

When using the debug kernel I'm getting a DSI while closing the Tasks window.

Thomas gave me the following explaination:

===
The 0xcccccccc reference is a typical indication of accessing the pred/succ pointers of a list node after remove.

The debug kernels clear the succ and pred pointers with 0xcccccccc to make people aware of this problem.

Either Scout frees a list node twice, or it first removes a node and then references succ/pred pointers.

The regular kernel doesn't expose the bug so you have to use the debug one to reproduce.
See crashlog for more details.

BTW, that's with Scout 37.290 [OS4/PPC] (23.4.2006)
