Should this crash notes

This following code:

dim db as new NotesDatabase(“”,“”)

dim server as string

server = “”

call db.Replicate(Server)

will cause an NSD. Yes, it’s bad code, but it should tank the client. I’ve tested in Notes 6.x and Notes 7.x

Just a heads up.

Um… what on earth are you doing? Are you trying to crash the client?

Does it really matter?

Even completely pointless LS code should never crash the client (even less a server).

LOL! I have seen it happen though, with a very inexperienced developer, but that was back in 1997 with version 4.1.

Don’t remind me of some not-to-be-named developer (let’s just call him hp for now) crashing a 5.0.6 server just by opening a frameset from a browser, that did not have any content defined for one frame. That was a really, really nasty bug …

Of course the goal isn’t to crash Notes, however it should trigger/throw and error and note NSD. If I were directly calling the Notes API and foo-bar’d a function argument, then it’s more understandable. With a higher level language like LotusScript it should throw an error vs tank the client.
