Has anyone had any problems with crashing (i.e. frozen screen, having to break into MacsBug -- if you can!) when you get an error in a handler while cantAbort is set to true? I was getting really bad crashes, hanging the whole machine, something that rarely happens in HC. The only thing I could trace it to was that I had an error (I was calling mousedown() instead of mouseclick()) in a handler in which I had set cantAbort to true. A debug/script/cancel dialog would come up, and the machine would hang soon thereafter. Is this a known problem? On a related note, is it still true in 2.0 that HC stacks can become corrupted if HC has to exit abnormally? Is there any way to see if they've become corrupted (e.g. will "compact stack" 'de-corrupt' a stack?)?
