LV 8.5.1 crashes drawing text....

[sth]

Since support now wants all these questions posted in the forums I will try it here...

How come LV 8.5.1 has trouble drawing a simple text box?  LabVIEW has crashed a number of times.  This is on a cleanly installed system.  This program is designed to run continuously and reliably and did so under LV 8.2.1.  Now with an update to 8.5.1 I am losing this reliability.

Here is the traceback from a memory protection fault.

Thread 0 Crashed:

0   libSystem.B.dylib               0x90004910 szone_malloc + 4056

...  bunch of apple libraries.

13  com.apple.QD                   0x91788ed0 StdText + 308

14  com.ni.labview                 0x005931dc LVHostDrawable_DrawTextBox(Rect*, long, unsigned char*, long, FontType_t*, DColorSet) + 1540

As you can see LV is trying to draw a text box.  Simple no?  This is a large program that has a lot of asynchronous loops, DAQ, GPIB, Serial, DIO, and data logging.

The only other hint I got was from the lvlog files.  I have the DialogWarn token set so they give more warnings than usual.

 plotsupp.cpp(4051) : DWarn: too many points in plot

0x006FF498 - <unknown> + 6FF3C8

Huh!  How many points is too many?  Almost all my plots are history charts with maybe 1000 pts max.  Probably more like 200.
