Re: [9fans] Galaxy screensaver updated

[Sam <sah@softcardsystems.com>]

I don't know, but it hasn't occurred again.  I took out all the
nasty, unnecessary dynamic memory allocation and it went away.

The only problem I'm seeing now is that it crashes when the screen
blacks out due to lack of user input.  I don't really consider this
a show-stopper. ;)

Cheers,

Sam
