String Gadgets in Requesters

I wrote a program that performs the following steps:

1) Create a window

2) Create a requester with a single string gadget using the Request()
   function.
   
3) Delay for 30 seconds to let me play with the requester's gadget

4) Remove the Requester with the EndRequest() function.

5) Close the window and exit.

I find that if the program tries remove the requester while the string
gadget is active, it crashes the system.  I can use the string gadget as
long as it is not active when the EndRequest comes up.

Is this normal behavior for 1.3 or am I doing something wrong?  I realize
that in programs shouldn't normally 'yank' the requester away from the
user with EndRequest but during development this is the easiest way to
test the requester.

Has anyone else seen this?
