Fellow Performers,

I have been trying to track down a persistant bug problem that is resulting
in intermittant "_pfDirtCheck" core problems. I have tried both dmalloc
and Purify but have been unsuccessful in tracking down the problem.
I was wondering if anyone could tell me just what sort of problem is implied
by _pfDirtCheck. Does this always imply corrupted "pfMalloc'ed" memory?
What sort of mistakes can lead to these types of problems? (By the
way, we are not doing pfDBase things). We are still using Performer 2.0
(rather than Performer 2.01. Were there _pfDirtCheck-type problems with
Performer 2.0?

Thanks,
