In this model, wouldn't catching the segfault and retrying (once or twice) work? - If I'm reading you correctly, which is unlikely, this has little to do with program correctness, but about the interpreter not crashing because of an unfortunate context switch.. which the programmer should have guarded against in the first place... no, I think I just lost the plot again ;-) Pete
