Hi Blake,

I am in the process of embedding ABCL into a web server application I have.  While it is okay for an error to either be caught and handled, or not handled and having the thread terminate, it definitely is not okay for an error condition to kill the entire server.

I am executing a (load "file") command (where "file" doesn't exist) from Java and it kills the entire server.  I tried enclosing it in a try/catch block (I tried Exception & Throwable)  and it still killed the server.

Are there any other forbidden functions for "well behaving" libraries?

Not that I can think of. Thanks!

Erik.
