Yes, that's clear. I've added a windowWillClose method. If that could 
be used to reliably kill a thread that the drawing is taking place in, 
that might work, but I haven't figured out how to do that. I tried 
process-run-function to start the animation, and process-kill called 
inside the window-will-close method, but that doesn't stop the crash.

As it is now, I just use window-will-close to set a flag named 
*window-open* which gets checked before each redraw, and at the top of 
the animation loop.

Yeah, that's what I suspected.

Any changes would be welcome. You obviously understand both the OpenMCL 
and Cocoa runtimes *way* better than I do.

Here's tiny-loop.lisp:

Thanks, once again, for all of your efforts. I must sound like a broken 
record, but I really do appreciate all the effort you put into OpenMCL.
