Subject: [os2genau] Engrish not English.

Hi All,

Strictly OFF topic.!

Here is a very funny website.  
It is in Japan and the subject matter is true.

Check out "Recent Discoveries" and some of the others.  :)

Quote from website:-

It's hard to believe the Engrish masquerading as real
English over in Japan. It can be seen on signs, people's
jackets, t-shirts and shopping bags, in menus and on TV.
But nowhere is it more prevalent than on the various
consumer products found in convenience stores and
supermarkets.

Engrish dot com has amassed a collection of such Engrish
here for your viewing pleasure. Make sure to check back
every WEEK (or so) and get your fill of new Engrish!!

Although the message text implicates the Device Driver, it is actually 
saying that the device driver has found an instruction it can't execute 
or that it is trying to access instructions from an illegal address.

The high addresses in the registers to me indicates that the stack 
contents containing a return address have been overwritten, usually 
caused by either not getting the thread semaphores correct or 
incorrectly useing pointers. Most likely the latter.
Try using a different compression application, or an earlier version of 
the device driver.
