I see. In fact, I have not investigated what happes if a PIL.zip is pushed into a running PilBox. Might be unpredictable, depending on whether the new files conflict with the (possibly running) old ones. Therefore, I recommend to always stop PilBox, then start it by clicking a new PIL.zip. > fine.

The reason was usually that I started a new PilBox too quickly without the old one having enough time to clean up and terminate. BTW, you can find out the reason for a crash usually by starting new, going to the REPL, and typing $ cat log- "log" is the current logfile, and "log-" that of the last PilBox invocation. The error message is in the above case often "Address already in use". > > However, I cannot observe any slow down-here, even after very many clicks. I > > haven't tested on 32-bit hardware though.

I won't think so, as this animation is driven by JavaScript (the '(+Click +Auto +Button) in "demo/fields.l"), which stops as soon as the browser leaves the page.
