Hey all, just wondering if anyone has any input on a program that gets stuck in a loop.

This is a C64 "Petscii" program for telnet on Amiga platforms. Sounds fun.

It pegs the CPU and can't be killed via shell and it never gets to GUI to use iKill either.

Any tips appreciated!

This is a log of the loop shown twice:

Front and foremost, it tries to read some legacy Amiga custom register 0xDFF006 VHPOSR according to the log, most likely to read some beam position where it is very unlikely to get the desired result when run directly with MorphOS ...

You definitely need to run this through some full emulator to have a chance of seeing it doing anything useful, albeit questionable.
