lock screen / unlock screen causes livecode to crash?

[Glen Bojsza]

Further investigation suggest that

import snapShot from rect (the rect of fld tTemp) of fld tTemp

inside the lock screen is the actual line of code that is causing livecode
to crash?

Is there a work around?

Is there a way I can have the snapshot done outside the viewing area of the
stack?

thanks,

glen
