This Program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down.
Visual FoxPro terminates due to an Invalid Page Fault.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

  1. Create and run a program containing the following code: 
          oform = CreateObject( "Form" )
      oform.AddObject("X", "CB")
      oform.AddObject("Y", "CB")
      oform.y.pointer=oform.x
      oform.x.pointer=oform.y
      CLEAR ALL  && This causes an Invalid Page Fault and
                 && shuts down Visual FoxPro.

      DEFINE CLASS CB as CommandButton
        pointer= .NULL.
      ENDDEFINE
Object references for "X" and "Y" above can be cleared by doing the following: 
      oform.removeobject("X")
      oform.removeobject("Y")
