sorry -- pressed SEND prematurely.
Rolf, please check what I just checked in for Jmol 11.7.14. I think it
just might work for you.
-- Out of Memory errors -- "Java heap space" -- now caught by the
script processor and image creator.
-- jmolGetPropertyAsString("errorMessage") returns the error message
or "null" if there was none.
Still could be some problems here, but I'm betting this goes a long
way to solving the problem.

There should be no more freezing, though I don't guarantee that.

I'm not convinced it does slow down the interface. The message
callback stream is a dependable way to do this. All scripting errors
contain the characters "ERROR" and can be read using messageCallback
or scriptCallback

Not sure I understand this idea.

See how it works for you now -- again, I recommend using
scriptCallback and just checking for ERROR
