Rev crashes when getting back web pages contents

[Eric Chatonet]

Hi Dave,

I did it :-)
After many tests (writing a log file to understand), I can tell:
Yes it seems to work fine when you only get a sequence of urls even  
if sometimes the returned data are empty when you know they are not.
But that's not a problem :-)
The problem comes in unpredictably when you set the htmlText of a  
field to the url you got...
Sometimes there is not any problem, sometimes Rev crashes :-(
I made my tests with a list of 30 urls leading to Rev related  
websites: light pages...
Mac OS 10.4.1/Rev build 77

Best regards from Paris,

Eric Chatonet.
