Foolish me, I tried it.  I have about 250 Megs free (starting with a 20 Meg
swapfile) and it filled it all trying to display that gif from the
lighttable.

I'm too tired to report it now, but I'll try to remember to do it tomorrow.

Yeah - this crashes my system. too :-(

But thanks OS/2 - nothing bad happened.

So long,

I find that my light table crashes when it contains pictures taller
than the screen height.

Its got an invalid .GIF header - this will happen on many other viewers too, not
just ones for OS/2. Find something that *will* load it, write it out under a
different file name then reload it - you will then have no problems..

I think lighttable is a great app, if  a little slow at times..

You didn't get it. No matter how crooked the picture is, the LightTable
is *not* allowed to crash OS/2.

I have no interest for the picture in question, but if one GIF can
crash OS/2 then can also other GIFs. (As was already pointed out by
someone else.)

well, on my ystem it crashes not OS/2, but the WPS - and that very often. Just
try to create a few (means 5-10) Light Table References at once. It seems that
the problem is the physical format of the picture, not the type. I have quite
some (larger than 1024x768 in one or both directions) from which I can't make a
reference at all. All of those pictures load fine in every other program I
have.
