I don't know where this problem truly belongs, but Python did crash.
- I was trying to save my boa project when the event occurred.
- The software & versions are correctly identified in the "bugreport"

It's a Boa Constructor bug. And technically Python didn't crash, it threw 
an exception and that triggered Boa Constructor exit with a non-zero 
status.

Roger that, and thanks. I've just started learning Python this summer. 
Before I retired I spent 20 years supporting & maintaining a rather 
specialized programming language that was a component of something 
called EIS (Boeing - Estimating Information System).
---
Scrounging the web, I've found many seeming unrelated, but identical 
"line #425 of Help.py in boa package" nastygrams. So boa was suspect 
from the beginning.

I think I'll poke into it, so I too, can make Python appear to crash:-) 
Maybe I'll fix boa by accident? Thanks for the knowledge.
--- so much to learn, so little time - TTFN
