typing SETREAD into any sketch causes Arduino software to crash

[camtmicromega]

Typing uppercase SETREAD into a sketch, even a blank sketch, causes the Arduino software to crash and start issuing a stream of exceptions.

This problem is occurring on the Windows version 1.02 and 1.03, but doesn't occur on the Mac OS X version 1.0.3.

[camtmicromega]

Have identified the source of the problem. A user defined library had an entry for SETREAD in the keywords.txt file as follows:
SETREAD LITERAL
instead of
SETREAD LITERAL1

This causes the crash described above.

your should contact the author of the library and propose the fix

[camtmicromega]

Yes, I've done that and the library is now fixed. A less urgent problem that still remains is that this simple typo in the keywords.txt file can cause the Arduino software to crash with no useful error message.
