Yes, it's unrelated to the dangling pointer problem that you were seeing. There was a subtle (but unintended) change in the semantics for how stuff from the Fox module gets "included" when you do: include Fox I haven't had a chance to digest exactly what's going on, but after I've done so I'll try to summarize somewhere. It's not really what I'd call a bug, and I'm not sure that there's anything to "fix" yet; but the problem is that most or all of the FreeRIDE code was written to depend on the previous semantics and as a result is now broken. I'm not trying to be vague ;) I just don't quite have a handle on what has changed (or why this change had the effect that it did).
