Exception 6

[Angelo Fraietta]

I am almost dead sure that this is the case now. I had an original bit 
of code that went

                    if(pMidiOut[dev_num])
                        {
                            pMidiOut[dev_num]->SetTxReady(false);
                        }
                   
                    if ((io_in_data & DIAG_MESSAGE_MASK) == 
DIAG_MESSAGE_MASK)
                   
and it crashed big time.
I changed the code to

        if ((io_in_data & DIAG_MESSAGE_MASK) == DIAG_MESSAGE_MASK)
            {
                    if(pMidiOut[dev_num])
                        {
                            pMidiOut[dev_num]->SetTxReady(false);
                        }
            .... etc
            }
        else
            {
                    if(pMidiOut[dev_num])
                        {
                            pMidiOut[dev_num]->SetTxReady(false);
                        }
            .... etc
            }

and it worked fine. So I believe it is definitely something to do with 
the alignment of the code.
