Sometimes, when I launch applications, they get a Deskbar entry but open no window. This also affects very simple applications, like a preflet. Printing the stack crawl in KDL for the application thread (in my case here the only thread of the application yet) gives this: {{{ context_switch(thread*: 0x81a13000, thread*: 0x80110bf0) + 0x003c simple_reschedule() + 0x029f :switch_sem_etc + 0x0319 :acquire_sem_etc + 0x0026 :_get_port_message_info_etc + 0x012e :port_buffer_size_etc + 0x0025 :user_port_buffer_size_etc + 0x008d :handle_syscall + 0x00af user iframe at 0x83795fa8 (end = 0x83796000) eax 0xc3 ebx 0x5112fc ecx 0x3f edx 0xbd02f esi 0xffffffff edi 0x7fffffff ebp 0x7ffeebcc esp 0x83795fdc eip 0xffff0102 eflags 0x216 user esp 0x7ffeeba0 vector: 0x63, error code: 0x0 :commpage_syscall + 0x0002 :__c1__Q38BPrivate11BLooperList12FindPortPredRQ38BPrivate11BLooperList10LooperData (nearest) + 0x015b [*** READ FAULT at 0xffffffff, pc: 0x800d7f83 ***] }}} I have no idea what recent change could have caused this. Looks like the thread is waiting for a reply, but there were no app_server or registrar changes recently, were there? ",bug,closed,blocker,R1/alpha1,- General,R1/pre-alpha1,fixed,,,,,All
