[partial-reconfig] "PAR" halted during "guide file processing" in "Assemble" stage



hi

I am struggling with a problem at PAR during "Assemble" stage in module-based Partial
configuration. Suddenly PAR is halted, at "Guide file processing" without error, saying that

-----------------------------------
par.exe has encountered problem and needs to close
AppName : par.exe,
ModName : libgi-guide.dll
Offset : 000003556
------------------------------------

Last message (just before crash) in *.par file is given below

--------------------------------------

Starting Guide File Processing.
Loading device database for application Par from file "../../Pims/RN/RN.ncd".
"top" is an NCD, version 2.38, device xc2vp30, package ff896, speed -7

One interesting thing is that

Reconfigurable module (A) - Fixed module (C)
Reconfigurable module (B) - Fixed module (C)

is working okay.

But, Reconfigurable module (A) - Fixed module (B)

is not okay as we see the crash above.

A, B, C modules are communicating each other with handshaking.

Initial budgeting and Module activation are ok.

Very weird things are

Whole flow is okay in "modular design setting".
 
Moreover, *.mrp file says that 100.0% of guide NCD slices were guided.

I am using ISE 6.3.03i, Windows XP, and "bm_4b_v2p.nmc" as a bus macro.

I exercised http://elektronica.ehb.be/reco/PartialTutorial.htm
Then I replaced with my design and used 6 "bm_4b_v2p.nmc".

I am still wondering whether this problem either my deisng problem or other problem --:

Thankyou in advance for any comment
