I had a chat session with Robert Klemme, who experienced almost the same,
but Robert unfortunatly had to go.. so we never hunted it down.

It seems to be an endless recursion. The backtrace doesn't reveal how
it happened, thus I have made a small change so we can get a look at
the full backtrace.

please fetch this version of 'viewfox.rb' and try again, and afterwards
mail me the '__backtrace__' file.
http://rubyforge.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/cgi/viewcvs.cgi/projects/experimental/buffer/source/viewfox.rb?rev=1.9&cvsroot=aeditor&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup

This will hopefully reveal where the recursion begins.


Another issue, in line#2 of the output it says
cannot read, No such file or directory - D:/temp/aeditor-1.1/err.txt
I guess this is because the program is invoked with a non-existing file.
I am curious to what happens if you invoke the program with an existing file?
c:\> editor autoexec.bat 

Also if you don't supply any arguments to the editor when you start it.. what 
happens then?
c:\> editor


Do you have ideas how to hunt down this recursion?

Thanks for valuable info.. I am grateful
