I appreciate the detail on the options and rationale and it makes sense 
how and why it's being handled the way it is.  From a development 
standpoint, it would be nice if Slime handled the situation better (OT 
for this list so I'll take it over to slime).  From a deployment 
standpoint, does this approach preclude a graceful exit of an app? (i.e. 
at least log the error and present the user with an error dialog before 
exiting)

I'll take a look at that code and, if I still can't get it going, start 
a new thread with specifics.

Thanks,
