OK, something very weird going on then.

OK, if you haven't heard of it, then that won't be causing the problems
because you probably don't have that version of UAE :)
JIT stands for Just In Time, what it does is converts a whole chunk of 68k
machine code into x86 machine code so the programs run natively on the
processor instead of having to be emulated. It allows UAE to run faster
than emulating every instruction individually.

Hmm, nasty. I know what you mean about switching to UAE, I would probably
have done it full time if I had a lesser specced Amiga.

It must be something wrong with your Blitz installation, because the code
worked fine for me on UAE. Perhaps the acidlibs file has become corrupted,
or some other library is clashing with the one which Print or Format is in?
What to do is copy the current Blitz setup somewhere else, reinstall Blitz
(just Blitz for now) and try that small test program again.
