What does this memory error mean?
« on: 2018 May 19 11:00:20 »
Can someone tell me what the below error means?  I get this error while trying to integrate 100 bias into a master bias.  Other operations do not result in this error.

well its a classic null pointer dereference, could be caused by all manner of bugs... does PI quit after this? if so there might be some kind of core dump / error report in windows that will show the function that was being executed when the error occurred.

Apparently the problem was that 2 of the 100 bias images were somehow corrupt.  Once I removed those images from the stack it processed correctly.

interesting, so there must be a corner case in the FITS or XISF handler when dealing with corrupt files.
