That's how it always is. For this reason I am *always* in full debug 
mode. Let's me sneak up the bugs. <grin>

All joking aside, I tried and tried to reproduce it, and actually could 
reproduce it, but only once: I quit Accerciser and nothing had focus 
(even though there were other windows open and not minimized). I don't 
know if that's key or not. I will keep trying. It would be good if y'all 
could as well.

Note to Steve, whose message I just saw: This isn't related to your OOo 
woes I don't think. If something hangs/crashes an app, all bets are off. 
This seems to be Orca not being happy after an app has been quit normally.

For what it's worth, one of the things I did in this last refactor -- 
aside from rewriting a bunch of code -- is eliminate some pretty large 
try blocks that were swallowing up potentially all sorts of errors, and 
doing so in some cases without a debug statement telling us what went 
wrong. So I'm not surprised we're seeing tracebacks now -- we easily 
could have been seeing the very same thing before and just never 
realizing it.

Note to Attila, whose smiley-faced comment I saw regarding you knowing 
that unstable means unstable. <grins> I don't mind reports. Ever, 
really. But given our time difference, you always seem to luck out and 
catch a bug during your morning testing when I'm doing some late night 
hacking. If, say, less than an hour has passed, given me a few more. If, 
say, 5 hours have passed and you've not seen a new commit or an 
announcement on the list, we are no longer in the "unstable means 
unstable" phase, and I want a report because in that case I'm not aware 
of the problem. I don't go to bed if I have introduced a serious bug and 
know about it. And if it's during the day, I tell y'all. Fair enough? 
<smiles>

Thanks guys! I really appreciate your living on the edge with master. 
Let's nail these issues in time for 2.91.6.
