Mac OS 9.1: Conflict Between CarbonLib 1.3.1 and AppleScript

Using AppleScript with CarbonLib 1.3.1 installed can cause the computer to stop responding.
Symptom

1. The computer stops responding ("freezes") after you click the record button in the AppleScript Script Editor.

2. The computer stops responding when you (or an application) execute an AppleScript. This includes the Browse the Internet, Mail, and Register with Apple icons on the desktop.


Solution

Download and install Carbonlib 1.4 or later. You can obtain this update either through the Software Update control panel or by visiting the Apple Software Downloads page (http://www.apple.com/swupdates/).
