Hello Uday,

Thanks for your help and support for vm. Attached is (hopefully) the information that you requested via launchpad. In particular, I am including a copy of the backtrace buffer when working in vm-8.1.1 and the backtrace when working in vm-8.2.0b. I note that with debug, I never even got to the point of entering a filename for the save.

By all means, if this is not quite what you wanted to receive, just let me know what I should be doing and I'll resend.

With regard,
Michael Goldwasser

Hello Uday,

Thanks for your help and support for vm.  Attached is (hopefully) the information that you requested via launchpad. In particular, I am including a copy of the backtrace buffer when working in vm-8.1.1 and the backtrace when working in vm-8.2.0b.  I note that with debug, I never even got to the point of entering a filename for the save.

By all means, if this is not quite what you wanted to receive, just let me know what I should be doing and I'll resend.

With regard,
Michael Goldwasser
