Crash in on changed handler

If I type quickly into a text field that is connected to

on changed theObject
...
end

I will sometimes get a crash (with an offer to sent it to Apple!). This appears to happen when the handler has not exited after processing the previous keystroke. I've put in code to test if the handler is entered before the previous invocation has returned, and it does happen sometimes. I would think ASS would deal with overlaps, but it does not. Am I missing something, or am I really limited to the length of time I can take inside this handler?

I've tried this, without success:

global flag
on changed theObject
if ( flag is true ) then
return -- not done
end
set flag to true
-- do the work here
set flag to false
end
