Please do post the final response here.

I remember similar problems awhile back with an MPW tool that compiled
applescripts.  If I remember, the problem had something to do with the
fact connects and disconnects from the OSA component everytime it is run
by the component allocates some persistent data in the app heap and gets
confused by the fact that the tool is etherial while the app sticks
around.  John Pugh might have more information as to why this is.
