No error message? Does it lock up? Blank screen? Still not sure what happens...

This is an excellent idea. I'll look into it and see if it is possible
to modify the code to do this when I get some time. I added it to the
RoadMap to remind myself.
However, I'm still not convinced there's not a better, simpler
solution out there. I suspect this thing could get VERY big. But we'll
look into it and perhaps give it a test.
