The error iseems to be generated when MBBack runs. It was loaded at boot and MBBCtrl calls it every 10 minutes. I have never noticed an error on the ARMX6, only on the Titanium. Initially the error eported (no line number) was a shortage of memory - then the error changed and became more frequent. Sometimes happening on Boot and even surviving a reset. It looks like something is writing to a semi-random area of memory when MBBack runs. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ Richard Torrens.
