Calling this 'buggy' is an understatement. Probably the only way to fix it is a complete rewrite due to some unknown new policy in loops, nesting structure, or something else. Either way, it's just crazy to have perfect compile in MetaEditor, but failing/rejected in Terminal.
I went back to build 482 since I've overwritten my build 500.
Also, I can't seem to uninstall build 507 as it requires elevation privilege and the uninstall link returns this error message: "A referral was returned from the server." FYI, my OS is Win8 64bit. There's also some kind of forced/automatic build 507 install when you run older MT4 instances. It will replace any MT4 folder with build 507 and create a system-wide nightmare.
Beyond build 482 has been nothing but problems. Custom spread backtesting is great, but not at the expense of crashing the whole ecosystem or total code rewrite.

I completely agree, I was trying to be nice, I just hope the Metaquotes dudes will pick this up asap and release a fix before the markets open...
cody_r, are you using some custom indicators in your code?

Three of my own. None call any other include files or dll's. I just recompiled all 3 then the EA again with 507. All compile fine, and the EA crashes as before.
Can you try and attach the indicators to a chart and see if they might be the cause of the crash?
Try to run DebugView (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896647.aspx) and see if the process of metatrader reports any errors as I get (see my previous posts).

You need to report it via the mql5 forum, from your User profile there is a link to the Service Desk on the left.
I don't have a user for that forum, never used mql5. Can you report it please and refer them to this thread?
Btw, were you able to resolve the problem that you had?

DebugView reports:
[6028] Invalid parameter passed to C runtime function.
from the MT4 process.

Perfect, this is the same thing that I get, so at least we have some lead for metaquotes.
Did you try to attach indicators to charts and see if one of them is causing the crashing problem?

Sorry, I did that and forgot to document it. The indicators work fine on the charts. No crashing.

I can't report it for you, well actually I can but I won't, I don't have enough information and cannot provide code to reproduce the issue. Perhaps you could code something simple you could share to enable others to reproduce the problem ? if I can reproduce it I will happily raise a Service Desk ticket.
I was able to resolve my issue, I had forgotten I was using the Build 507 ME with the build 500 MT4, I had been working on a way of preventing the Automatic Update and hadn't reversed the changes I had made. Compilations done in ME are not usually backwards compatible with earlier MT4 builds . . . hence the issue I was seeing.
