He said it failed on both Windows and Linux for J64 (worked on J32).
Untested on Mac.

Hi Henry,
You didn't mention if Bill's test was on Windows or Linux. Does it
happen on both platforms? Mac?

I have a reproducible crash on J64 when I run a large script after
debug has been active, even if it no longer active. This appears to
be in the J Engine, and I am wondering if someone who is working on
that would be willing to post a fix that could get into a release
before next August, when next semester starts.
Bill Lam reproduced this with Jconsole, and I did on JQt Windows, and
Bill says it doesn't fail on 32-bit Jconsole. This strongly
implicates the J Engine, methinks.
The crash happens whenever I run the sentence
lint 'h:\dissect.ijs'
Unfortunately lint is a huge program and the dissect.ijs source file
is even huger. Sometimes I get crashes on smaller files but this
seems totally reproducible. If it looks like cutting the testcase
down is called for I will do so, but it would be better to start by
looking at the crash in a C debugger.
Here are the results of my experiments. To reproduce, load
debug/lint and run it on the file ~addons/debug/dissect/dissect.ijs
FAILS:
13!:0 (1)
lint 'H:\dissect.ijs' NB. h: is my source disk, yours will be different
WORKS:
13!:0 (1)
13!:0 (0)
lint 'H:\dissect.ijs'
FAILS:
Ctrl+K to start debug
lint 'H:\dissect.ijs'
FAILS:
Ctrl+K to start debug
Cancel the debug window
hit enter in term to make sure debug is over
13!:17 '' to verify debug is off
lint 'H:\dissect.ijs'
WORKS:
13!:0 (1)
harmlessname =. 1
13!:0 (0)
lint 'H:\dissect.ijs'
It appears that something that Ctrl-K does poisons the system, even
after debug is turned off.
