Working with Delicious Library is … kinda, fun. Because that thing is going to crash, no matter what you do. Maybe it’s because it’s so terribly multitaskingly: it creates new threads en masse, gets entangled and trips up.

Anyway. The really funny thing is how it crashes: It gets logged to the console, you get the notice from the system – while in the background, the app happily chugs away, completely unmoved by the fact that it apparently just crashed.

After some time, it comes to the realisation that maybe not everything is just the way it should be and starts to lock up your system. Forced restart needed.

Now, isn’t that the way all apps should work? Crashing, but continuing to run (even saving recent changes to disk), and then, when it thinks to be the right moment, dragging down the whole system with it.

Isn’t this what they call “murder-suicide“?
