General protection fault - invalid instruction executed

Hi,

I have a DLL file nad that needs to be accessed from my smalltalk client. Whenver i'm trying to access the DLL i get this error "General protection fault - invalid instruction executed".

The runtime error message is:
 'Primitive failed in: PlatformFunction>>#callWithArguments:
 due to General protection fault - invalid instruction executed'.

The interaction is as follows, whenever i trigger a button in the client, it should invoke the DLL and display the parameters retrieved from the DLL file.

Has anyone come across this problem ?.

to avoid guessing, it would be helpful to know at least
- the C declaration of the DLL function
- the arguments that are passed to the function

also, after googling a bit, it looks like a VA Smalltalk error
(EsPrimErrGPFInvalidInstruction):

in this case, it might be more suitable to ask the question on VA
smalltalk mailing list / group.
