Ok - this one will probably give you nightmares, but I''ll scare you all anyway Few notes about code - uses a set of speciall libarys, it''s fairly obvious whats happenning, but FHand''s that equall 0xFFFFFFFF are null.Allso, the count thing shouldn''t need to be, and neither should the loggin - it''s just there as debbugging. Oh, and a try catch(...) has no effect. Code-

void BStrListRec(SFile * F,FHand Targ,FHand ** Pos,unsigned int * Count)
{
  if ((*Count)==0) return;
 // Read the data required...
   FBTPacket T;
  F->Read(Targ,&T,BLOCK_32);

 // Now proccess it all...
  if (T.Left!=0xFFFFFFFF) {Log.Add(LOG_MIS,"Going left");BStrListRec(F,T.Left,Pos,Count); Log.Add(LOG_MIS,"Gone left");}

  if (T.Ownership==-1)
  {
   Log.Add(LOG_MIS,"Adding to list");
   (**Pos) = T.Target;
   (*Pos)++;
   (*Count)--;
  }

  if (T.Right!=0xFFFFFFFF) {Log.Add(LOG_MIS,"Going right");BStrListRec(F,T.Right,Pos,Count); Log.Add(LOG_MIS,"Gone right");}
  Log.Add(LOG_MIS,"Going up");
}

FHand * BStrList(SFile * Targ,FHand First,unsigned int Count)
{
  if (First==0xFFFFFFFF) return 0;
 FHand * Data = (FHand*)malloc(Count*sizeof(FHand));
   if (Data==0) return 0;
  memset(Data,0xFFFFFFFF,Count*sizeof(FHand));

 FHand * Pos = Data;

   Log.Add(LOG_MIS,"Starting recursion");
   BStrListRec(Targ,First,&Pos,&Count);
   Log.Add(LOG_MIS,"Done recursion");

 return Data;
}
 

As you can probably figgure out, it''s going through a binary tree, the next thing will make you think you know the error- >Small stack size it crashes ''instantly''. >Large stack size it takes a while. ie stack overflow, due to never returning, but if you look at the log file- For 1 entry in the tree- Mis: Tue Jan 16 18:00:01 2001; Starting recursion Mis: Tue Jan 16 18:00:01 2001; Adding to list Mis: Tue Jan 16 18:00:01 2001; Going up For multiple entrys in the tree- Mis: Tue Jan 16 18:48:48 2001; Starting recursion Mis: Tue Jan 16 18:48:48 2001; Going left Mis: Tue Jan 16 18:48:48 2001; Adding to list Mis: Tue Jan 16 18:48:48 2001; Going right Mis: Tue Jan 16 18:48:48 2001; Adding to list Mis: Tue Jan 16 18:48:48 2001; Going right Mis: Tue Jan 16 18:48:48 2001; Adding to list Mis: Tue Jan 16 18:48:48 2001; Going up In other words, it''s not going on forever, though thats what the signs show. So what now? Problem with compiler - checked it, same ''error'' on both windows and linux. (Note it dosn''t say ''stackoverflow'' on windows, as it''s being tested as a console app.) If anyone has the faintest idea, I would really appreciate some help... Thanks in advance. -Lethe
