Is this a Windows version? The thing is that on primitive OS's, a parameter
stack check must often be implemented by hand in order to ensure it does
not meet the program heap, in which case the program and often the whole
computer bombs. (Under UNIX and Mach, the OS kernel keeps track of this.)
In the Mac version I and Pablo just released, we have implemented such a
stack check, which originally comes from Kevin Hammond's MacGofer. So it
should not bomb, but instead telling that it is out of parameter stack
memory. But if it still bombs, please report this to Hugs Bugs
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
Note however that if your program and computer bombs, perhaps wiping out
the whole hard disk, it is a feature and not a bug. :-)
