Crybaby

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Jacuq and Craig,

Right, I see that too. The message box doesn't remember what the  
current stack is and, worse, it doesn't remember when it needs to  
refer to itself sometimes. This has several weird effects, one of them  
being <http://quality.runrev.com/qacenter/show_bug.cgi?id=7743>. I can  
very well imagine that Graig's problem has the same cause as bug 7743.
