Hi all,
I posted this problem on the list a few days ago and got no response. Since
then I have managed to zero in on (current date) as the culprit in causing
my crashes. I am posting again in the hopes that someone will try it out, or
at least point me to somewhere on Apple's site where I can notify them of
the problem and maybe get some feedback...
The following stay open "classic applet" script causes my 2000 G4 (OS 9.0.4,
no third party extensions) to crash hard when it is running at the same time
as IE 5.0. I can't recover in Macsbug - must press the reset button. It
takes about 15 minutes usually - seems to take less time if there or 2
windows open in IE. Doesn't depend on Internet conection and "works" just as
well if the IE windows are empty.
1. Is this a known problem? Has anyone else experienced it? I couldn't find
anything on either Apple or MS sites.
2. Could someone please try this out for me on a system similar to mine and
see if they can get it to work. (Please play it safe - don't be doing
anything where you will lose data in memory while testing!)
Thanks for any help.
