Revolution.out window when disconnect from database

Hello,
I am connecting to a SQL 7 database through the Microsoft ODBC SQL 7 driver
on a Mac and have encountered two annoyances. 

First, even after passing the user and password through the revdb_connect()
command, I am presented with a dialog asking for user and password. No entry
is needed, just hit OK or Cancel and the dialog disappears. The connection
is complete. I take this to be some ODBC quirk, but I only get this problem
on the Mac, not on a PC.

Second, when disconnecting from the database using
revdb_disconnect(myConnectionID), a window titled "Revolution.out" appears
to confirm the disconnect. The disconnect functions properly, but I cannot
dismiss this window without quitting and restarting either the Rev
development environment or the standalone that I created. Also, my menus get
messed up once this window appears -- I get two Apple menus and two File
menus. Getting openstacks, windows, etc. does not reveal that this window
even exists.  Again, I don't have this problem on the PC, only on a Mac.

Any ideas?
