What version of the OS are you running under when this happens? I
know of one problem that can occasionally happen when an alert winds
up with 10 (9?) lines of text. The alert code has a bug where it
winds up calculating the top of the alert form as being at a negative
coordinate, so the low-level drawing code (the line blitting code,
IIRK) triggers a Poser error message when it tries to draw the frame
for the alert.
