Creating a Snapshot Causes a Crash

[Ian Vollick]

I wish I could give you more useful information, but I get no symbols for any stack frame when I crash. Is this common? Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks,
Ian

Hi Ian,

sorry for the trouble you are having. It's very unusual for this to happen.

Could you open the memory profiler, go to the Help menu and click on the 'Open Log Folder...' option and send the files to support@red-gate.com referencing this forum post.

We will look into it for you and get in contact when we've had a look into the file.

We now have two workarounds for crashes:

1. What we have found that works is disabling the server garbage collector as described here: <http://support.microsoft.com/kb/911716>
Remember- "server GC" actually means multi-core GC.

2. Parametize your main method with:

[System.LoaderOptimization(LoaderOptimization.MultiDomain)]

or

[System.LoaderOptimization(LoaderOptimization.MultiDomainHost)]

If you don't have a main method, for example: if you have a WPF project, take a look at this article which shows you how to do it:
