In a procedure I am doing the following but it crashes on the return.
I have tried MBuffer, *MBuffer and @MBuffer. Code is ok outside of
a procedure. Any ideas?

Procedure.l GetSomeAddress(...)
...
*MBuffer = AllocateMemory(#MBNum, 16)
...
ProcedureReturn MBuffer; << CRASH!

Discover the problem: the "ProcedureReturn *MBuffer" was inside a SELECT-CASE statement.
When I re-coded to allow the proc to drop through to the end, the problem disappeared.
Is this a known bug?

It is known, but not a Bug

It is a stack thing, you have to use FakeEndSelect before you exit a
Select/Endselect with Procedurereturn (same as with Goto)
