Trying to find reason for CTD

[Stick]

This code:

if (panelFileName != null)
{
panelImage = new Bitmap(panelFileName);
}

while it works for most, some users experience a CTD when it attempts to
run. The files are present, so it seems to be related to the 'new Bitmap'
call from the System.Drawing namespace.

So, now my question is what on the users system would be screwed up to not
allow them to run that code. I have required Windows XP Home SP2 as a
minimum config, as it has GDI+ present.

Ideas? Thanks, Patrick

Never mind. Turns out this wasn't the problem, and I have isolated the area
of code.

You must not be a gamer, then. On most game forums and tech support
sites, that term is used to describe when the game just dies for
whatever reason.

If anyone here has ever used Gupta / Centura 4GL you are probably laughing
so hard your gut hurts. Was known for a long time as Centura Team
Developer, or CTD for short. And yes, plenty of unexplained crashed to
desktop - a very appropriate TLA.
