Andrea,
We are having some problems with the latest CinGG build checked in yesterday. Is that the version you are using?
A serious deadlock was discovered here that has been in the code for a long time but was uncovered with use of the shuttle because it goes faster than a person can type. So operations get queued up faster than cinelerra is used to handling. However, this deadlock bug is probably the cause in other freezes that were not analyzed to the same depth in the past.
We need to solve this once and for all so we need our "super testers" to keep testing! GG is working on it and has been for a few days to get a final solution.
The "BOOBY" is a trap to catch locks bugs that might have been missed (traps if compiled --with-booby). GG may have accidentally checked in with the trap enabled. But the good news is that you found one and he can look at the error messages you sent and get rid of it.
Thanks for your patience, gg/phyllis
