An on-going problem is that the RR/LC Dictionary crashes the IDE on

Build Metacard using Jacque's 2.0.1 Metacard builder from RevOnline.
According to one report, using Metacard Setup with LiveCode 5.5 causes a
system-wide lockup, so I'd recommend against that. I haven't had time to
investigate it yet. Earlier versions of LiveCode are fine.
BZ#?
At a Microsoft dev conference I went to some years ago the rep giving a
presentation about VB said something very wise:
"If your app generates a runtime error, that's your problem. But if
your app generates a crash, that's our problem. Our engine should be
robust enough that it's not possible to crash it."
Sure, that's a lofty goal, but a good one.
I haven't yet run MC Setup for v5.5 in Linux, but I'll keep an eye out
for issues so the engine team can address them. An app-specific lock-up
can be a script issue, but a system-wide lockup on Linux should be
impossible.
