Satoshi to Nicholas Bohm: "Right, debug.log is what I need" (January 26, 2009)

Satoshi Nakamoto January 26, 2009 15:18 UTC

Right, debug.log is what I need.

You’re using v0.1.3 right? What operating system are you using? I haven’t tested Vista yet but I’m getting a copy tomorrow. Several people have been running on XP since I released v0.1.3 without problems.

0x000bd598 isn’t a valid address. If it printed another address in the crash dialog, that would be useful.

Thanks,

Satoshi

Would it be useful to send an updated copy of debug.log?

I have restarted Bitcoin, and it is running normally.
