A page fault in a working virtual memory subsystem will *never* result in the memory tables being corrupted so that pages get mixed up. Furthermore, memory pages are not necessarily the same size as the units used in the actual files represented by those pages in memory. This means that a swap file page may have data from multiple memory pages. Why does that matter? Well, for the kind of corruption being experienced to be due to corrupted memory tables, the correspondence between memory structure (swapped page) and file structure (documents) would have to be one-to-one, since the corruption is one- to-one (the contents of one entire document replaces the contents of another entire document). > >.......related to hacked and twisted code to make Finale work under > >OSX. > > I whole heartedly agree that something has not been coded properly > under OSX and that that is adding to the problem. :-) Again, let me repeat that I've seen a mismatch between document window and content on Windows, so it probably has *nothing* to do fundamentally with OS X, though the conversion of Finale to run on OS X seems to have made the problem much more severe for Finale running on OS X than it ever was before. -- David W.
