I was really thinking of a specific problem with my PowerMac
7600/120. On this one single Mac killing a widget with
WIDGET_CONTROL, /DESTROY sooner or later leads to a system-wide crash
that often has me pulling the power cord - something I almost never
have to do even with monstrous bug-fests like Netscape Betas.
Strangely enough, if you kill the widget with the window manager
(click on the close box) there's no problem.
I isolated the bug and have a simple widget program which seems to
predict with accuracy whether there are likely to be problems or not.
If any other Mac IDL users want it I can post it or put it on my Web
site. The bug is gone in V5.0 and since the Mac pre-release now
available for downloading from RSI's web site seems sufficiently
stable (more so than the CD-ROM version) I've switched to using that.
