This really makes me believe that the problem at RS is they don't have a proper test suite, otherwise how could a fundamental bug like this survive? I mean is it possible that of all the apps RS tests, none of them dims a multidimensional array with -1 then redims it? Hard to believe isn't it?

Maybe we should help RS put together the "MOATS" (Mother Of All Test Apps) which would aim to incorporate as many of these simple RB functions as possible. Surely it wouldn't be too hard with each of us making modules and windows which could be included in a large app. The app would grow larger and larger over time which would be great since many crashes happen with large apps.

Thoughts?

Now that you've insulted the RS development team, perhaps you'd like to atone by taking the lead and writing a test framework to which others can contribute tests. Were it written, I bet that RS would be most happy to use it.
