Beachball of death

[Bill]

Try fooling with the Database query builder (look for a record that isn't
there). Try opening a database that doesn't exist. Try putting info for a
SQLite database in the query builder and then move the SQLite database
somewhere else. These things will not only bring down RunRev but then (after
a cute message about how the program crashed and do you want to notify
Apple) when you force quit the already quit (but still there in a frozen
state) application System 10.3 will also go to a blue screen and then you
re-boot and try not to do that again.
