I managed to create what appeared to be an infinite loop by resizing the desktop
with an event monitoring such, which then triggered itself, etc. When this had
happened, I was unable to close the integrated browser, or EWB IDE at all. I had to
kill it. Not serious (I'll not create the loop again), but it might be nice to have
a way to kill the browser when this happens.

The browser is a COM object that runs in the main thread of the application
(it has to, it's a UI control), and there isn't any way to "take control" of
it once it stuffs up the main thread.

Ah well. It's the only time it has happened, and I knew what I'd done straight away.
Classic programming fault of course. EWB put me back where I was, so I didn't lose
anything at all.
