Never-ending computations and cmd-dot

I've been bitten by this dozens of times.

The problem seems to be that a second UI process is created and thus the DNU exception is automatically resumed (indefinitely). Executing the following expression seems to remove the problem:

UIManager default spawnNewProcess

Still, I do not know the cause of it.

Hi hernan

Indeed it would be nice to have a solution for such case. Now we did
not look at it.

Hi Guille

Thanks.

That expression prevents the recursive exception windows from opening? Or it is a post-mortem measure?

So it should be executed at image startup?

I will check.

 

Still, I do not know the cause of it.
