That's interesting, I'll look into this.

There shouldn't be. I probably set the sleep time too short.

Extremely unlikely.

So, to summarize, you think that a version 1.0 of a program (which is now at
1.2) crashes too frequently, but you can't be bothered to upgrade to the latest
version? :-) It's going to be a bit difficult for me to fix the version on your
disk :-)

To be fair, Shuck 1.2 is not available separate from the 5.1.4 betas, but 1.1
is on ftp://err.ethz.ch/pub/neeri/MacPerl/Shuck_11.sit.bin and contains
significant reliability imporvements vs. 1.0

Shuck has never crashed for me since version 1.1. 1.0 was unreliable under low
memory conditions, and it consistently *provoked* low memory conditions.
