I was under the impression that it was [ok, well, not impossible, but difficult] to corrupt your project or Lightspeed C while your program is running, because neither one of them is resident in memory at the time- your program gets compiled, and the _Launch trap is used to run it. Because it gets sublaunched, it returns to Lightspeed C when it's done. Unless you specifically write the CODE resources back out, it should be really hard to corrupt your code for a second run. (Blowing the system away is an entirely different matter.) "Look Ma! I wrote a program that drops into MacsBug! And it does it so well!"
