More on this topic...

Before this was happening, I had 19 members of a structure.

Then I added a long type to make it 20.

When there are twenty members, in the struct, and I try and scale a sprite
to ONE,
the error as described before occurs. Now I took out the member I added and
now I have been seeing this error a lot:

DMA bus error: code=80908000
MADR[0]=00ffffff
MADR[1]=00ffffff
MADR[2]=00ffffff
MADR[3]=0007f800
MADR[4]=00ffffff
MADR[5]=00ffffff
MADR[6]=001bfe4c

What is this, what is causing the GPU time out?

Is there a limit on how large a struct can be? Am I not handling memory
properly?
Or could there be a hardware problem? It doesn't seem so because other
programs still run. If anyone knows, please let me know any possible causes
of a DMA bus error or a GPU timeout.
