MyVariableValue // will crash in Harbour but not in Clipper
It will RTE, not crash. It's not the same, when we read 'crash', it suggests the it's a Harbour system crash. This is a known problem, and it's a limitation of the .mem file format. It's not possible to solve it without breaking CA-Cl*pper compatibility.
