[WASTE-list] Copy/paste problem

[Chinh Nguyen]

I sent a bug report about Select All and problems with the selection  
not being cleared after you press the down arrow key.  It turns out I  
was still pointing to the 3.0.2 framework instead of the 3.1b2  
framework which evidently fixes the problem.

However, I just noticed a problem with copy/paste.  If I copy text  
from say, Terminal.app, then paste it into my text editor using WASTE,  
it pastes just fine.  If I copy the text within my text editor and  
then paste again, my app locks up and I get the following message:

StataSE(22746,0xa0133f60) malloc: *** mmap(size=1610612736) failed  
(error code=12)
*** error: can't allocate region
*** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug

I can copy text from my text editor and paste it into TextEdit without  
any problems.  I ran an older executable that still used WASTE 3.0.2  
and it doesn't have the problem.  With 3.1b2, I'm not using the HIView  
version of WASTE and I'm also handling kHICommandCopy and  
kHICommandPaste myself.  For kHICommandCopy, I only WECopy() and for  
kHICommandPaste, I WEPaste(), WECalText(), update my status bar as to  
the current line number, then return noErr.  Even after I comment out  
WECalText and my status bar updating routine so that I only WEPaste(),  
I still lock up.  Any suggestions?

PS. Is WECalText() still necessary after WEPaste()?  I suspect that's  
old WASTE 2 logic I'm using.
