Build modules freezes BlitzMax

Whenever I run "build modules" the BlitzMax window stops responding or redrawing. I used Wubi to install this and I suspect that is causing problems with disk IO.

Can you still build modules from the command line, or does also hang? blitzmax/bin/bmk makemods -a <whatever.mod>

I would mention here that entering any c/c++ code in the Bmax IDE before saving the file as cpp will also hang the building of modules as the bmax parser screws it up.

The problem was that I was using the Wubi installer. This installs Ubuntu in an NTFS file system within Windows and causes file IO problems. Reinstalling on its own drive with the Ubuntu CD worked perfectly.

Actually, the problem was a certain Bah module. No idea which one, but I removed them all and added back in only the ones I wanted.

Brucey seriously needs to update those modules. There nothing more off-putting that trawling through someone elses code to get things to work.
