Yes, I saw the same thing with the same repeating codes.

I'll try it too, though I don't think it changes the guts of the 
execution error stack's card script. That script takes the same 
parameters and chops off all but the last 100 lines; you've shortened it 
to 5 but the effect is still the same. That is, the last item in the 
list becomes the topmost error in the dialog we see. I could easily be 
missing something though.

It still doesn't explain why the same old IDE is producing new errors 
though. That makes me think that Tuviah changed something in the way the 
engine reports errors.
