Bug #187
buffer overrun in jDoom
Description
hello, i have been having quite some difficutly getting
jDoom to exec. i have tried ALL versions of jDoom
(including 8.1) and when i attempt to run jDoom i
recieve the following error:
--------------------------- Microsoft Visual C++
Runtime Library --------------------------- Buffer
overrun detected! Program: D:\PROGRA~1\DOOM1_~1
\Bin\Doomsday.exe A buffer overrun has been detected
which has corrupted the program's internal state. The
program cannot safely continue execution and must now
be terminated. --------------------------- OK ---------
------------------
i understand what a buffer overflow is, but at a
complete loss as to why. i have successfully run jDoom
on other machines before, and this is the first time i
have seen this occur.
below is a copy of doomsday.out:

i should also note that this is a clean install of both
doom and jDoom, so nothing has yet to be modified
within the engine settings. this is driving me nuts, i must
get this fixed!!
thank you everyone for reading my post.

I answer those that I have time for, providing I know what could
be causing the problem. :)
I have never heard of anyone having the same problem as you,
so I must conclude it's specific to your system. Could you tell me
which version of Windows you're using? How about the OpenGL
renderer, any change?
What happens if you start into the "-dedicated" mode?

thank you for the response, indeed anything is better than
nothing, so i appreciate your time.
the system in question is running windows xp professional. as
for the renderer, i have tried both openGL and d3d, and i get
the same crash on both.
i probably should have noted that the system is running dual
processors, xeon 2.4ghz. perhaps there is where the issue
lies..? if it does turn out to be a hardware related problem,
then i realize there is not too much that you can do from your
end.. just one of those things.
as for the -dedicated start command, i am not able to try it
at the moment, as the machine is in another location from
where i am at the moment. as soon as i get a chance to try it
out, i will post back and let you know.
again thank you for your time. i did not mean to sound rude,
its just frustrating to feel like youre being ignored. :)
good day.

I'm closing this due to its age and considering no updates
have been made to this bug report in over a year.
