you mention that a 'GPS' occurred inside the Microsoft runtime library.   What is a 'GPS' in this context?

[Mario]

Sorry, tech lingo.
GPS means "General Protection Fault". While IMatch uses the Microsoft runtime library to return memory no longer needed to Windows, a problem occurred and this caused Windows to abort IMatch. I cannot tell what the problem was, at least from what I can see in the DUMP file, IMatch was in a proper state and the memory was valid.

Sorry, tech lingo.
GPS means "General Protection Fault".

My sources do not show that GPS means "General Protection Fault" but they do state that GPF means "General Protection Fault"

[Mario]

Sorry. GPS, GPF, GSP, ... To many acronyms...

[Richard]

To many acronyms

That is for sure and I have a heck of a time keeping track of them.
