Hi everyone!
I did already mention that my OS4 on A4k Classic (i.e. CSPPC 604e 150MHz) does not run quite stable though it installed smoothly without any errors. Now I ran into another strange problem that I could not yet track down on my own: "Ranger" does not run at all!
I tried to check what Ranger wants to load on startup, but "Snoopy" kept freezing the whole machine every time it displayed the first two or so log-entries. At last I could solve this problem by increasing the stack-size of Snoopy's icon from its default of 4096 Bytes to 512kB. btw: "Snoopy" is not the only program that at first did not run or caused severe problems until I increased its stack size in the icon's tool type.
Finally I got "Snoopy" running and it gave me the following output when trying to run "Ranger":

Line 32 seems to be the beginning of the end ... Any ideas?
Kind regards
