	If you are using a shared IDCMP port you must clean out the
UserPort of all messages pertaining to the window before closing the
window.  This turns out to be the cause of the mysterious crashes in
my program.  The same effect is accomplished by periodically flushing
the input buffer, as I am currently doing as a temporary fix.  This
may well be the cause of mysterious crashes in many PD programs
that seems to crash when you do a lot of mouse clicks.

	This was reported in the April 1986 developer's newsletter.
