Hi,

After a hiatus I've recently started evaluating Viscosity; I noticed the following message in system.log on Viscosity's exit:

Viscosity seems to work flawlessly; the crash reports piling up are just a nuisance.

Thanks for the report ev. It appears to occur if the ViscosityHelper application isn't terminated before Viscosity itself exits. I'll make sure that this doesn't occur in future versions.

Thanks
James
