Startools 1.8.518beta keeps crashing while using SVDecon

Post by cytan299 »

Hi Ivo,
I've used SVDecon ever since it became available. One thing that seems to be a constant is that while selecting sampled stars, ST can crash after a few sample stars are selected. It happens about 50% of the time, which is enough to be annoying.

Is there anything I can send you so that this can be fixed? I can send you the crash log

StarTools_2021-11-05-202637_cytan-MacBook-Pro-16.crash

via private message if that helps.

My Mac is running Big Sur 11.6.1 on a MacBook Pro 16 (INTEL).

Hi cytan,

(Apologies for the slight delay in response - we're without broadband. Again. :cry:)

The crash log would be very useful indeed! If you can replicate this easily then I might even send you a special development version to help better pin-point the cause of the issue.

Thank you!

Hi Ivo,
I just sent you a PM with the link to a zip file that contains 3 ST crash logs.

Hope it helps.

Much appreciated!

I'm releasing a new beta soon (end of this week) with increased thread stack sizes on Windows and macOS, as they may be cutting it a little fine on these platforms. If that doesn't yield any improvements, I might send you a debug version (for more extensive log outputs), if that is okay?

OK. I'll test it out after you release it.

Depending on your browser, it may hold on to the old download page a bit longer. Try force-refreshing it (CMD+R or SHIFT+CMD+R on mac, or CTRL+R or SHIFT+CTRL+R on other machines, in most browsers).
