[news.eclipse.platform.swt] Re: SWT standalone application crashing on M

[Elfi Heck <eheck@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I found out more in the meantime. Part of the problem seems to be that I 
run (ran) the event loop in another than the main thread (the 
application was originally developed on windows where this is not a 
problem at all). After I moved the event loop to the main thread the 
crashes went away. I couldn't find out however if what I did is 
something that *should* work. I does (or seems to) at least on the 
MacMini. And even on the MacBook there were a few times the application 
did not crash.
I don't have the MacBook available right now but when I get it back I 
will try to reproduce the crashes with a simple window and two threads.
