- Whatever happens, even if frame does something strange, no one
- should be able to kill the graphics as seen in your earlier message. I
- suggest that you get hold of a data-file that kills the machine when
- Frame tries to open it, and file a bug report. We'd like to get any
- problems with our machines fixed pronto, especially if the graphics
- dies.
