Yes, I always get at least 3 lines of dot/pulse output. I sometimes get as
much as a screenful of dot/pulse. By hang I mean the system is locked up.
No mouse movement, no 3 finger salute, must power off.

Somewhere between 1:30 and 4:00 minutes.

I'm a bit unfamiliar with System Monitor, but I tried that with 3 or 4 of
the memory graphs, and I didn't see any indication of exponential memory
use.

I've tried with and without ml.
More info: Andrew Gray responded in e-mail that he had tried it without
problems. He asked what processor I was using. It's a K6-300. His VC
makefiles optimize for a Pentium Pro, so I recompiled everything with the
"Blend" option. Same problem. Tried again with the "486" option. Same
issue.
I sent Andrew my DLL and gendh.exe. It worked fine for him, so it would
seem to be a machine specific problem.
He was also getting generation times of 34 minutes for a 1024 key, and 45
minutes for a 2048 key. This will be unacceptable for my application, so
I'm back to 512 as the length, which makes the issue moot for me; however, I
hate not knowing the answer to things like this.
Andrew also mentioned he was running MSVC with the latest Service Pack. I
don't have the Service Pack 3 CD at home, so I will do the update on Monday
or Tuesday and see if that resolves my problem. I have NT4 on another
partition, and I tried that 1 time, and experienced the same results, so
that would seem to point to my K6 ??
Thank you.
