I understand; good info. I am beginning to suspect that the crash only 
occurs on subsequent runs within a GAMBAS IDE session, but not on the 
first run. It happens pretty frequently while developing it, but doesn't 
seem to have happened once while using valgrind. I noticed that the 
valgrind command doesn't bring up the GAMBAS IDE, but runs the app 
directly. Is there a way to get valgrind to just bring up the GAMBAS IDE 
so I can continually start and stop the app until it crashes?

Just guessing here, but based on the amount of time that elapses before 
it crashes it appears that the crash is related to either a DrawingArea 
control or the Image.Draw method. It happened before the DrawAlpha 
method, so that is ruled out. I may try setting a breakpoint right 
before the graphics are rendered and stepping through the code with F8 
to identify the crash point. That would at least narrow it down should 
the crash not occur using valgrind.
