FYI. With Safari opened on this page
<http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/9503>, ran your script in SE 1.9,
with the event log window open, and got this error from the event log:

--> Safari got an error: An error of type -20013 has occurred.

and an error box stating: "Could not write to the Event Log because the
text would be longer than its maximum possible length."

What is the maximum possible length entry for the event log? Is the answer
in the ASLG?

BTW, the script works when the event log isn't open.
