Can you believe it?  I actually found a bug in DP2.

Repeat By:
	Save whatever it is you are currently working on in DP2, 'cuz
	you'll lose it.  Having a picture up may give you a more interesting
	crash.  Click one of the predefined square brushes with the right
	button in order to resize it.  While you are resizing it (with the
	right button) push the pointer up into the menu bar.

	Result: either a dead screen or everlasting fireworks.  In any event
	the only way out is to reboot, seemingly.
	
The fireworks crash is the most amazing thing I've ever seen.  Seemed to have
a cycle time of about 2 seconds, flashing up a continuously changing mishmash
of something that looked a little like my old picture after traveling through
a meat grinder.  What'd it do, write an endless loop of garbage over the
copper list?

Oh, one thing does survive on the screen.  The

	S
	I
	Z
	E

sprite stays wherever it was, but the mouse can no longer move it.
