Raising an exception should not cause a memory leak. If you mean that it makes the GUI non-responsive, then you should catch the exception and show a message to the user (or do the equivalent using a designated "bad value" instead of an exception). -Philip -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Racket Users" group.
