So… who’s running Office 2008 and hasn’t<\/em> seen\u00a0CGBitmapContextGetData: invalid context<\/code> popping up in their system.log? I’ve seen it plenty: on Tiger, Leopard, ppc, and i386 systems (18MB worth on one heavy Powerpoint users’!) What’s puzzling is why MS hasn’t fixed it (do you want<\/em>\u00a0us to go over to iWork or what?!)<\/p>\n

Anyway, lots of chatter on the net and no solutions except to hope either Apple or MS fix it… and I hope they do, we are rolling 2008 out at work (finally) and it’s stupefying to see this memory leaking bug is just spewing out garbage into logs at astonishing rate (inserting one movie gave me 22 messages!)<\/p>\n

Anyway here’s some samples of what is happening when this error occurs
\n1 WrapContext
\n1 GetDeviceCaps
\n1 CGBitmapContextGetData
\n1 CGPostError
\n1 CGPostErrorWithArguments
\n1 asl_vlog$LDBL128
\n1 asl_send
\n1 gethostname
\n1 __sysctl
\n1 __sysctl<\/code><\/p>\n

Seems that after calling GetDeviceCaps<\/code>, which I can find Windows CE references<\/a> to on the web, it then calls\u00a0CGBitmapContextGetData<\/code> and fails and the logging ensues… so MS if you guys are reading, please fix the info that GetDeviceCaps is either giving or getting so we can get some work done, thanks!<\/p>\n
