SI loader doesn't always break at program start ??

[Mr. Smith]

Hi,
I'm using SI 4.0.5 under NT4 for some time now, but recently I noticed a very strange behaviour. The SI loader doesn't always break at the program start !
This has nothing to do with manipulated section attributes because this also happens with some of my own programs !!
Some break at the start, others run through, and this behaviour only started recently.

Any idea what's going on ?

Many thanks,

Hi
I'm not sure about NT and specialy about "your" programs, all this happend usually when program is packed...
Do you packed your programs is any way while compile them, maybe ?

good luck

I think that this happens if you make extensive use of bpm type breakpoints. It seem that the loader uses one breakpoint of this type. If you have specified four bpm breakpoints then this leaves none for the loader and it does not break!
