Choose your LC Fate: Crash or Hang?

Here's a test stack and Word document to either Crash or Hang LC 9.6.2.
This will be the first in my "Crash or Hang" LC Bug Report series!

Two bug reports, which use the same test stack:
https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=23238
https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=23239

Careful! This stack will Crash or Hang LC. Save your work first.
Probably these two bugs only affect Windows.
(But Mac reports are coming, as are non-Word reports.)

I'll post more LC Bug reports to this "series" between client projects.
I will also share some workarounds when I have a little time.
Test code is optimized for recipe, and may vary from original use-case.

BTW, it seems there is a history of similar LC clipboard issues:

https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=20310
https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=21906

Pasting is a fairly common activity for end users.
They tend to assume that it will be accurate and robust.
This series of reports and workarounds will help achieve that.

Back to work/lurk mode; busy week! I'll comment on other threads later.

Best wishes,
