When I run some programs in a shell after starting Snoopy, they don't return to the command line prompt. It occurs with some C: commands and commands I have compiled for my own use. The problem didn't occur with Update6. Here is how I reproduce the problem:

1. After a fresh cold boot (reset), start Snoopy (You can select "Halt logging if you want).
2. Open a shell window and enter "poolstat".
3. Poolstat displays stats but never returns to the command line prompt.
4.Open another shell window and enter "SYS:Prefs/AHI".
5.Close the AHI prefs window and the shell it's started from never returns to a command line prompt.
6.Open another shell window and enter "dumpdebugbuffer".
7.Dumpdebugbuffer prints the buffer contents but doesn't return to the command line prompt.
8.At the bottom of the dumpdebugbuffer output there are 1 or more newlib errors listed.

Before anyone tells me to try to reproduce the problem by cold booting (reset) from the OS4.1FE CD, I already did that with the same results.

Could some beta testers (or users) please try the above procedure to reproduce my problem.

For me

1) start Snoopy
2) start new tabbed shell

The shell never give me the prompt
CPU 100%
freeze

But as you know in another thread, I don't have luck with FE on my x1000...

which snoopy version are you using?
i tried 53.34 and cannot reproduce either problem.

I think this was a Snoopy bug that was fixed in the latest version of Snoopy that hasn't been released publicly yet (i.e. the version 53.34 that MichaelMerkel mentioned).

I'm using Snoopy 53.32 from OS4Depot.
If the beta-testers have v53.34 which is not released to the public and it's needed for OS4.1FE, why are you suggesting in the "FE and Copy/Paste crash" topic that a user use Snoopy to diagnose a problem?? All I can say is WTF.

I just asked on the beta mailing list about releasing it, give it a chance.....

Snoopy 53.34 now released on Depot.

O.K. I D/L and installed new version which solved my problem (after beating my head against the wall for 2 days trying to determine what was wrong).

Thanks for the quick release.

Don't thank me, thank Colin Wenzel, the author. You have to forgive him for forgetting about Snoopy after months of head banging working on FE.
We all get frustrated at times & forgetful, so save negative posts for the other forums, they don't belong here.

@ColinW
Thank you, it solved my problem too !

Snoopy 53.34 is now available via AmiUpdate.
