PowerMac.  Actually a PowerPC 603e-200mhz system.

*nod*  I'm sure this contributed to it but the 166,673 hash
memory locations probably did me in more than anything
else.

Nah.  I just corrected my mistake so it only really keeps
something like 20-50 articles. :-)

*nod*  But like I've said - I've already got it up and
running.  I just thought the fact that MacPerl actually
crashed the system when the runtime version is going but
didn't when the BBEdit spawned process doesn't was
interesting.  Mainly because the results (ie: messages and
crash) should have been the same on both methods.
