It shouldn't be possible for a JS script to do something so wrong as to crash SB
BS. Or at least, that's the goal.
The call stack should have indicated where the JS library functions were called
from within the SBBS code (and with what arguments) and that could help to deter
mine what's at fault. Sometimes bugs in SBBS can cause a crash in the JS library
, so just because its crashing in the JS library doesn't necessarily mean it is
at fault.
