I'm glad this was only momentary:







LW7.5/OSX10.2.3/Dual 1GHz G4/2GB DDR RAM

Admit it, you are beta testing the lightwave 8.0 codename sioux ;)

I must be. I did a search of the machine and couldn't even find an application called Sioux.

Whatever it is, it went away and I can't repeat it.

From the Lightwave Yahoo Group, circa October 2002:

"SIOUX stands for Simple Input Output User eXchange. It's a part of
the MacOS that is used for displaying console output, in this case the
details of an error, because until OSX MacOS didn't have a general
purpose command window the way other operating systems do. As Uwe
said, you will normally only see it when something goes wrong; in this
case a programmer left in the assertion that (cell_index
!=DA_NO_MATCH) but what he asserted was not true (apparently in your
case the variable cell_index does equal DA_NO_MATCH). Assertions are
tests that programmers put in their code to try to catch errors during
development rather than after the product ships. Obviously it doesn't
always work out that way.

So what does this all mean to you? The information in the SIOUX
window might be useful to Newtek in trying to solve the problem that
led to the crash, so you might want to save the error file & e-mail it
to them. Other than that, just treat it like any other crash"

That's interesting, Michael. At least I have some understanding of it now. I've been using Lightwave exclusively on OSX for almost 3 years now and this error happened only once, and as I said can't be repeated. I wouldn't know how to find the SIOUX error file to email to Newtek. Not sure they'd be interested!
