ah, I see. At least I know how that works then ;_)

Sidenote: what happens with example code you gave is usually referred to as freeze, not crash.[/quote]

You're absolutely right, I don't know why I mixed that up...

Also, the example should use /set -u: /var doesn't have a -u switch (because -u doesn't really make sense for local variables given the above).


Haha, good point. With all the mistakes in my previous post, it makes me wonder if I was even awake when I wrote it :_D
