I'd really like someone from Apple to take a look at this problem. I'm
willing to send a message with attachment that proved (at least on two
different Mac/Panther) to be able to crash osascript to whomever
interested. Please send me email if you'd like to take a look at the
test message and the simple testGetSrc.scpt.

(BTW I'm the developer of JunkMatcher - I knew this problem from
reports of several users)

Thank you.

permission)
>set eof sourceF to 0 --empty anything previously in the file
>write theSrc as string to sourceF
>close access sourceF

>-=-=-=- CODE ENDS -=-=-=-

>4. run the script using osascript under Terminal.app:

>osascript testGetSrc.scpt

>5. Get error "Segmentation fault".
