Their application works on Intel but gets a runtime error
on Alpha before it even starts running.  The error is coming
from the MFC startup code and kicks into Dr. Watson.

3405.1	Posed the question to nt-developers 3215	HYDRA::BRYANT		`Thu Mar 27 1997 13:30`	11
	Got a reply: I'm guessing that the initialization code is trying to read thread local storage before it is allocated. If that doesn't ring any bells with the partner, have the partner look at his static constructors for any use of thread local storage (which may be declared with __declspec(thread) or allocated using special runtime routines (TlsAlloc, TlsGetValue, ...) Called the partner and relayed this information. Waiting on a callback.

	Greetings! John called the Hotline and it rolled over to the West Coast yesterday and wanted to speak to Pat. I called and left a message for him advising him that due the weather, MRO may or may not be fully staffed and operational yet. His message indicated he would be out today anyway, so perhaps he can link up with Pat tomorrow (barring the weather!) - Hope you folks are okay (makes me glad to be where I'm at, cheers)...

3405.4	Can't reproduce here	HYDRA::BRYANT		`Mon May 12 1997 11:43`	1
	I've let John know this and still haven't back from him.
3405.5	Asked this question in nt-developers note 3215.2	HYDRA::BRYANT		`Thu May 15 1997 11:39`	15
	Hi Pat, We finally resolved our problems. We had to compile appmodule.cpp. which is a module that comes with MFC. Any insight as to why we have to compile and link this module explicitly? Thanks again for your help, John ------- John Richardson, AshWin Development Manager Seagate Software - www.seagatesoftware.com (v) 919-405-2625 (f) 919-405-2296 e-mail: [email protected]
