Re: [MiNT] FreeMiNT 1.15.10b, bug report

[Erik Häll <erik.hall@telia.com>]

Hi all,

On my Hades 060 I got a catastrofic crash corrupting nearly all
files in /etc/
Then I tryed without the flop_raw.xdd and with the same problem.
There was lots of memory exeptions so I think it has to do
with the memory management.
