I was just talking, I remember yrs ago when it was stated that a next update would be consintrated on fixes and that's what I was referring too. I know many fixes are still added and I am apprecitive of them.

Yeah I have checked on mametesters and it is documented, I have ran it thru the debugger in mame and it kicks out right after the mame O.K. screens with no load of the debugger or of mame itself producing an error log of the problem so I know that will make it harder to track down, Im using win7 64 bit with straight mame64 and windows promptly kicks out a error window asking to close the program so no help there either... anyway I do appreciate all the work put into mame by all involved but I also know that there are many that have past the test of time and still here today helping preserve not just the games but mame itself like yourself.
I have seen many come and go thru mame thru the yrs and my hats off to those who are still here and after all these yrs of time, effort and the ammount of dedication they have put into it.
