Yes, I've illustrated exactly this in my response. A script with many
handlers errors earlier than one without handlers (which probably 'never'
errors).
Excerpts from tests I've performed.
I note that I can trigger two kinds of errors: memory full or
internal table overflow. When I get the latter, AppleScript is broken
and I have to quit the editor.
1. I could compile:
----------------
on hi(param1, param2)
activate
end hi
----------------
with i from 1 to 2000 (h1, h2 etc ... h2000)
2. With a longer handler, and still for 2000 handlers, I get the -108
memory error.
----------------
on hi(param1, param2)
activate
display dialog param1 & \": \" & param2
end hi
----------------
3. With a longer handler name, and still for 2000 handlers, I get the
internal table overflow.
----------------
on handlerwithalongernamei(param1, param2)
activate
end
----------------
The tests above and other tests with more or less bizarre results
prompt me to propose to the original poster that he change the names
of all the handlers into shorter names. I would do it also with the
variable names, maybe they sort of live in the same space.
