[DMDX] Die thread die! I am having a rash of input threads that fail to die too ... oddly (?) enough, on the most pathetically simple DMDX script ever to have been written:        0   "pPASAT.bmp"  ;  1000 l ; ... show a questionnaire on the screen (BMP), press response switch to exit. Like sand in ones socks, the error is mildly annoying, but not at all fatal. JCF, thanks for all your great work on DMDX! - Derek  ---------from list serv --------------------- >When the program end, it would show a sentence, "wait for input thread to  >die failed". What does it mean?    It's safe to ignore thread failing to die messages.  Some machines seem  to take forever to kill off threads that were doing things that are part a  job that was running, usually it's a video retrace thread, this is the  first instance of an input thread failing to die that I recall.  Alas I  never get to see such machines so never get to fully investigate them but  the work of running the item file and saving the data has already been done  so they are of no consequence.  If the thread was responsible for saving  data or some such thing there would be cause for concern but no thread is  so it's just a case of me religiously sticking error messages around  everything that possibly could fail and you having a machine that for some  reason takes forever to kill off threads. --- "j.c.f."
