Fwd: Re: Standalone crashes when Mac Applications menu clicked

[Bruce A. Pokras]

Thanks, everyone, for your responses.

Revolution, itself, does not give this problem. It is only the 
standalone. When I booted with Extensions Off the problem did not 
occur. So what is it about a standalone that is different from the 
Revolution developer interface?

The standalone is very minimal - a single stack with one button and 
an "Openstack" script. The "openstack" script simply tells the 
standalone to open a separate interface stack. The standalone has 15 
Mb of RAM assigned to it, normally. However, I raised the Preferred 
RAM to 45 Mb, and the crash still occurred. When the crash occurs, 
the "submenu" function of the Finder becomes disabled. It cannot be 
re-enabled from the Apple Menu Options control panel. I have to 
reboot in order to get submenus back again.

I just recreated the standalone with the "openstack" script disabled. 
It still crashed when I tried to access a menu. I also tried a 
standalone that I created in May and it also crashed when I clicked 
on a menu.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Regards,

Bruce Pokras
