variant to flattened string crash

Version is LabVIEW 8.5.1 

 

I have a strict type def cluster that crashes LabVIEW every time I wire it to a Variant to Flattened string function IF the type string output is wired - if I disconnect the type string output there is no crash.  I sent an example as a support request to an NI application engineer (request number #7207670) but shes' having a hard time figuring out how to help since she can't get her system to crash.  So, I've attached an example and my question is - can anyone else reproduce this behavior?  The error I get is "The instruction at "0x00ffde8b" referenced memory at "0x000000".  The memory could not be read"   I always get the same address for the instruction and it's always pointing to the NULL address.  This is after reboots, recompiles, etc.

 

Thanks,

 

Mark

Mark,

 

Crashes LV on my PC as soon as the enum is set to crashes (well, actually it waits a few seconds and then crashes.)

 

Same 0x00ffde8b pointer on my system.

 

LV 8.5.1 Win XP Pro SP3

I am afraid all I can say for sure is that at least you are not the only crazy one!

A quick update - NI support got the example to crash and have filed CAR #124866 with R&D.  This crash is very specific to this combination of clusters/type defs and probably won't affect any one else but it's nice to know the R&D team is looking at it to find out the root cause.
