Exception 6

[Angelo Fraietta]

The problem is still there, however, the results vary depending upon 
what I do within the code. I believe that it has something to do with 
the way the code is packed and aligned. If I remove a single line of 
code in a function such as a comparison, the program may go into this 
infinite exception loop. If I remove a line of code else where, the 
tasks may return that they have started, but the tasks don't actually 
start running (I added some diag code to show me when the actual task 
function is entered). I add a line of code somewhere else, such as a 
cout, ant the program runs fine. It may have something to do with the 
linking, causing the code to jump to an incorrect address.
