Hi,
this reminds me of a famous/funny bug in (tcl)/tk some years ago.
1. No space left in color palette.
2. tk want's to display an error message and inform the user. Nice idea!
3. Open a new window.
4. Error messages are important. We wan't to catch the users eye!
So...
Better write the message in bright red letters...
5. Allocate a color... Oops, no colors lefts...
Got to generate an error message.
Ad infinitum...
The lesson: Doing interaction in a situation where resources are limited
is a dangerous thing!
Cheers
Dirk
PS: Sorry for not providing a complete solution to the actual problem at ha=
nd.
But I couldn't resist. ;-)
