[REBOL] Re: vballs forks

Hi Norman,
If you're closing a View window while the process execute some REBOL code, the window
will be destoyed but the process will remain in memory until it finish executing the
code. In your case, by setting v-frames to a high value, you create a very long loop
that will stay alive even after you've closed the window. So i guess you've hit the [x]
button +/- 7 times to obtain the windowless processes...(Sending a "Ctrl-C" signal to
the process will make it terminate cleanly)
You can see more clearly the issue if you add a 'print "showing console..." line at the
beginning of the %vball.r script. Then run your test and you will see that the console
is still there after you close the window.
BTW, the VBall apps could avoid such issue by calling a 'quit in a window 'close event
handler.
HTH,

PS: 2.5.2 looks like more a /Core version...;-)
