DownloadFile() - floating point exception

Okay, I've encountered a significant problem with Jack compiled for MacOSX.

Firstly the error log given in Terminal:

Code: Select all

I've pinpointed the 'floating point exception' down to the following line of code:

Code: Select all

handle, count = DownloadFile(url, {File = savefile, Fail404 = True, SilventFail = True} )

'url' is shown in the log file, 'savefile' is shown on the line below it.

I might go away and try and give an absolute path, the path given above is relative to the 'Resources' folder of a MacOS X package and works in other instances of usage.

The very same code works fine under AmigaOS4.

Could you provide a very small test script that demonstrates the error?

Oooh just spotted you are online.

I tried a code snippet and the same fatal error is not shown. All arguments I am supplying to the command are valid, requires further investigation.
