Now that I have resolved the other problems, or at least they have gone 
away for now, this issue remains.

Ok, I changed the notify(message) code too:

dinfo("XXXX notification suppressed. Message: " + message);
info("User notification suppressed. Message: " + message);
dinfo("really not going to notify user");

The first message gets displayed in the log file, but the next two aren't.


Ok, now I commented out this code in log(type, destination):

         //if ((type & 7) > 0 || isDebug()) {
         //      if(isQuiet()) {
         //              WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell");
         //              WshShell.logEvent(type, description);
         //      } else {
         //              alert(description);
         //      }
         //}

Now it works!

Maybe somebody else can tell me what is wrong with that code, it looks 
fine to me. Not that I really understand this WScript.Shell stuff. I can 
only assume it is generating an exception that is not caught anywhere 
and results in the entire process getting killed.
