<P><FONT SIZE=2>Hi,</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>It turned out that the problem was related to the TrkGetNoteData call. Even though the documentation made no mention of it the buffer size argument is designed to be minus the space for the null terminator! If i rewrite my code to take this into account i don't get the problem any more.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Lenard, i like the suggestion of the try: finally: block as it certainly neatens up the code. The only issue i have is that it makes it impossible to release the GIL within the try block (if my understanding is correct).</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Regards,</FONT>
