I am getting repeated crashes when stepping through code in the VFP 6.0 debugger. The problem began intermittently when clicking the left sidebar to set or remove a Breakpoint. Now the crashes are more frequent, seemingly any mouse click event in the Debugger, stopping or starting execution.

Every time it's the Fatal Exception popup, with Error code "C00000FD". Also listed is the heirarchy of all procedures currently executing.

There is only ONE Bug report on the MS KB for C00000FD! My problem does not involve a Docking Toolbar issue in this KB article. The KB article also alludes to "Rare circumstances" unfortunately my problem is not rare... It's now happening even when I re-boot/ re-start and begin stepping through code.

Yes, I installed SP3 long ago, and have confirmed that the SP3 versions are current. There are only a few C00000FD threads on UT and none of them address this Debugger issue.

Someone mentioned a possible stack overflow? Machine is a 400mhz processor with 128 mb. No other applications running. Any takers? Thanks in advance for your ideas.
