Dmitri - 

Testing your QC file  on Mavericks 10.9.2, MacBook Pro 15-inch, Mid 2012. QC 
4.6 (147)

Launches and runs fine, but attempting to save the file I get an error message 
"The document “dd_AngleDistance.qtz” could not be saved. “

Otherwise, now running for twenty minutes or so and it seems fine. 

(I’ve had the “could not be saved” error message before with QC 4.6, and other 
apps that use the “new document model.” I don;t think it’s related to your 
problem. )
