I have faced a 'strange' (to me, at least) situation:

My program would stop unpredictably with the series 60 emulator (ver1.2) given out an alert: "Bad GC tag value found". But the program can run without problem in the other emulater(ver0.9) and in real machines.

However, I don't have used any System.gc() instructions at all.

Moreover, I found that the problem disappeared after I have added some variables to indicate sth in the program (just as indicator and for calculation...wish my memory is good).

On the other hand, I have faced the same problem with my another program. For that program, I solved the problem by
loading all images at the start of execution (instead of loading in the middle of execution). However, I still don't know the cause of the problem. In fact, I don't know the meaning of the error message

Although the problems disappearred finally, I really want to know why that happened.

Does anyone has idea on this error? Please help!

I'm having the same problem. Through months of development, everything was fine. But yesterday, I did some refactoring -- I moved the single method of a base class to its parent, and then deleted that class. Everything compiles fine, and the MIDlet works fine on many different emulators.

But when trying to run it using WTK 2.0 and the Series_60_MDIP_SDK_for_Symbian_OS_v_1_2_1
I get a

ALERT: Bad GC tag value found

I've rebooted the machine, made 'clean', etc. but the problem still shows up.

Anyone have any ideas?
