Re: NSAppleScript.execute() stops JVM on PowerMac G5 - why?

When I run a Java program on a PowerMac G5 that makes thousands of AppleScript calls, first to the Finder to manipulate files, and then to iTunes to create play lists and add songs to them, I find that the JVM often terminates without any exception within NSAppleScript.execute() (I catch Throwable and print the message but there is none caught) after a few hundred calls to NSAppleScript.execute() directed at iTunes. I put tracing statements to confirm it really is stopping in execute().

If I run the same Java program on a PowerBook Titanium, it works fine, talking to both the Finder and iTunes through AppleScript. 

Hi,

I don't think it's related to Java, actually. I've been sending scores of AppleEvents from C/ObjC programs to iTunes as well, and sometimes, if I'm too fast, the AppleEvent gets garbled or something, and the AE "decoder" crashes on the result...
My guess is that there is some kind of race condition within iTunes that corrupts the AE stuff every once in a while.
That would explain why it works better on a slow (and mono processor) computer...
