Hi all.
Well, just now I finally found out where things were going south with that
'changed emulated program counter' error I was getting with Poser. And, now
that I've found it, I realised if I'd told you guys a bit more about what
was going wrong, you'd probably have been able to help me on

Hi all.
I'd like to thank everyone who answered my question. The project I was
working on *is* a multi-segment app, but compiling it under either smart or
the 32-bit-pointer models doesn't help get rid of the problem. And Joe,
that post you found by Ben Combee was exactly the one I'd found in

Actually, the usual problem here is one of
1) using an invalid function pointer
2) wrote too much data to a local array so that you overwrote your
return addess.
You won't get a line number, since when the crash happens, you are
outside
I would try to step through to find which line precisely results in the
error. In the event of corrupt memory problems (as this seems to be) that
is the only method that I have ever found to work. Of course, I have not
encountered this particular problem, so this advice may not be worth what
Is your application multi-segmented?
All of the times that I've seen this error it was because I was calling a function in
a segment other than the first segment in a condition where those segments are not
loaded (e.g., startup, non-global launch codes, etc.).

MedEurope (7.24) just changed the emulated program counter to
0xFEFE. This address is invalid because it's in neither ROM
nor RAM.
Looking it up in the archives gives me the info that somewhere the
program counter is being
