SPACE_OBJECT weirdness?

[stevelee67]

getting a weird error message that in 24+ years, i've never seen:

saying something about "tree already in use. too late to use."

but the error resolves back to a DEFINE_SPACE_CELL

do space objects by any chance get stored somewhere while they are in progress? e.g., a temp folder?

I think the message means that you are trying to define a new space cell after you have read or written data to the space.

i.e. Once you read or write to a space you cannot subsequently try to alter the space's definition.

[MarkD]

Also space objects are only ever stored in the memory of the process that created them.

i was a little afraid of that re: only in memory.

it does eliminate one of the possible explanations.

we will have to research on the defining the cell.
