Hi all, It's Friday, after a hard week, so forgive me if you all know this. But for those of you who are wondering about the McGillicuddy comments between Peter and I, let me explain. Having spent a week at Duxbury, I was leaving Boston in a taxi off to catch a plane back to England. Every set of traffic lights we came to turned red. And Boston has its fair share of traffic lights, I can tell you! I turned to the taxi driver and said something along the lines of, "Typical, isn't it. Murphy's Law. Red lights all over the place when you need to catch a plane!" "Sorry sir," he replied, "but we don't have Murphy's Law in Boston". A shade worried that I might have upset a third generation Irish immigrant, I nervously asked, "Oh yes, so who's law do you have?". "McGillicuddy's Law!", he retorted. "What's that?", I said. "Murphy was a [expletive deleted] optimist!", he replied. But I caught my plane home to England nevertheless. George. -----Original Message----- From: duxhelp-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:duxhelp-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: 31 March 2006 23:57 To: duxhelp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [duxhelp] Re: another crash Peter, No, no no. That's McGillicuddy who finds it! I just pass on the message.

Me too. SPECTACULAR. You know, Peter's going to hate you as much as me finding this kind of thing!

In order to test something else, I wrote "This is a test." In a new Duxbury print document. I then selected it, copied it, held down Control V and kept it held down to rapidly fill up the document with text. It locked up around line 26 and sent CPU usage to 100%. Take care.

The we think we've got it. The problem is rather embarrasing -- and quite general, insofar as we can tell. The program could in fact lockup at just about any time. Faster typing presumably just brings it about faster. It will be fixed for beta 4. Best for now to be very careful not to depend on DBT 10.6 beta 3 for time-critical work. And save frequently while you're using it. - Peter -----Original Message----- From: duxhelp-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:duxhelp-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Melissa Hirshson Sent: Friday, March 31, 2006 2:53 PM To: duxhelp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [duxhelp] Re: another crash Woops! All this time I should have said lockup, not crash. Thanks. L Peter Sullivan wrote: > Lissa, > > We'll have a look. > > In the meantime, Mike may have a breakthrough for you.
