As far as I can see, Quark scripting is pretty much broken under 10.2. The
symptoms are either that QXP just quits, or more often a script just freezes
on a command, from which point no further events can be sent to QXP
(although it continues to behave normally in the UI at this point).
Sometimes this takes a long while to happen, other times it can happen
almost as soon as you run a script. The activate command with a document
open seems particularly prone to bring it on, although seemingly not always
immediately.
It's all a bit of a disaster...
