Synopsis: Trying to exit estudio when VD70 reported consumes more and more memory
Description
Trying to exit estudio when VD70 error is reported (specified target not found) causes estudio to consume more and more memory and CPU. The only way out is kill -9.
To Reproduce
Start estudio and compile with attached class and config file, whose target is named "hamster". When compilation finishes, change target name in test.ecf from "hamster" to "weasel" in an external editor. Click on Compile. Estudio correctly reports a VD70 error (specified target not found). Select File/Exit and confirm. Instead of exiting, estudio consumes more and more memory and CPU time, apparently without end. You have to use "kill -9" to end it.
