I am on a Mac, so I probably cannot help here, but know that this is

Wow. I have to disagree fundamentally with this paragraph.
My LC on Mac crashes/locks up frequently. The solution? Cmd-S to save
*EVERY* *SINGLE* *TIME* *YOU* *WANT* *TO* *TEST*. Heck, do it if you're
/thinking/ about testing. Gads, do it every 5 minutes just because.
Pretty soon, it becomes muscle memory, and you don't even need to think
about it, you're just protected.
Is it paranoia, or is it wisdom? I'm not taking off my tin-foil hat
long enough to find out.
Can you say exactly what it is that you were doing when the freeze
happened? Were you in the debugger? You cannot make a button there, as
this is not within the authoring part of the IDE. Were you in the
dictionary? You combined several different environments in your description.
I've had the same experience as Mark. You're neck-deep in your program,
you're thinking about the future, about your variables, etc. You're not
paying attention to what made things crash.
Mark Weider was right: trust no one.
