I've seen it, but not consistently. I don't think it has anything to do with
osaxen or even applescript. I've been told it might have something to do
with Palm Desktop conflicting with some MS extensions. However, very strange
things can also happen if you try to AppleScript MS Word doing anything
other than 'do Visual Basic'. Outlook Express is not a problem, except that
it too can crash when you click in the menu bar (it doesn't even have to be
an actual menu) when this problem hits. But so can many apps.
