	Whatever happens, even if frame does something strange, no one
should be able to kill the graphics as seen in your earlier message. I
suggest that you get hold of a data-file that kills the machine when 
Frame tries to open it, and file a bug report. We'd like to get any 
problems with our machines fixed pronto, especially if the graphics
dies.
