Well, let's try to make it work more often;-). Make a stack with a button; set the
script of
the button to:
on mouseup
put the script of stack "libURL" into temp
put numtochar(35) before line 283 of temp
set the script of stack "libURL" to temp
save stack "libURL"
end mouseup
What it does is to comment a line that is no good (as it was found out by Herve).
Everyone who uses the library should do the above "patch".

Not exactly: the problem was that the library would continue to read beyond the length
of
the file.
