Description Corey Burger 2005-04-27 08:58:25 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
When you open another copy of Blam, both copies will crash.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open Blam
2. Open Blam again
3. Watch them crash


Actual results:
I get to watch a crash

Expected results:
That either it jumps you to the 1st copy or opens a 2nd copy

Does this happen every time?
Yes

Other information:
When the two copies get opened, the data about having read certain posts gets lost.

Hmm .. tried it here and seems to be a new problem. Probably since a newer Mono, are you using 1.1.X as 
well?
Comment 2 Corey Burger 2005-05-08 16:33:16 UTC 
Everybody loves crack of the day. 1.1.7 on Ubuntu Breezy. But I think the issue
existed with Hoary, which has 1.0.5
Comment 3 Mikael Hallendal 2005-05-08 21:13:16 UTC 
Hmm .. I have never noticed this and it used to work. Doesn't matter, I'll look into it before releasing.
Comment 4 Mikael Hallendal 2005-05-08 22:49:01 UTC 
Ah, it was an oldtimer, I think this was in Mono 1.0 or one of the 1.0 releases
that this was changed. The handler for the IPC connection is garbage collected
and then it crashes when an IPC call is received.

Fixed in CVS. Thanks for notifying.
