On OS X (PPC), after editing and saving an Eve description, Adobe Begin
crashes after clicking a widget which reveals/hides an optional panel. This
seems to only occur when a widget was added or removed, i.e. simply
changing whitespace or altering a parameter does not result in a crash.

Note that it may take a few tries to reproduce. I'm not sure exactly what
the simillarities and differences are among crash-causing edits and non-
crash-causing ones.

Crash log with numerous instances attached.

    New info:
    The crash occurs only if you close one of the additional dialogs and then click
    something that resizes the window.

    I can reproduce the crash. I noticed none of your buttons
    close the dialog, which leads me to believe you're using
    Command-W to perform the close. At this point the Carbon
    widget lib does not hook that event, so we don't clean up
    properly. The lack of clean up is later causing you to walk
    off a dangling pointer. I began fix this previously, but a
    window isn't allowed to hook it's own close command,
    apparently. So the code is in place, it's a matter of
    finding the right listener to hook it with, and setting up
    the callback to figure out whether or not the window should
    actually be closed.
