I don't know how C modern programs handle errors but on VAX VMS there was a handler available to all languages. It was named "lastChanceExceptionHandler"(always sounded like the OK Corral). This allowed the program to possibly save work, gracefully shutdown and produce crash logs. This new era just crash and go away is astounding. Is there no way to trap severe errors?

I move the mouse to click on another line of the script. Blammo. LC crashes. Any idea how this can be pinned down? I can't see any pattern. The only plugin open is Geoff's Navigator. There's only a few tabs open in the SE. The total size of all scripts in the stack is probably 1000 lines. I'm not doing anything fancy with fields or images. The portion I'm working on is just posting to a URL, then calling jsonToArray on the results. It's baffling me. And it doesn't look good for a professional tool. I've seen this kind of thing before with red bullet breakpoints (just clicking on one of those to set/unset it) could cause the IDE to crash.
