Not really, I think we need a more descriptive report. Questions that 
come to mind:

1. FB Release number: ?
2. Computer type: ?
3. How much RAM?

The prog worked once.
4. Did it give the expected results?

It crashed the second time.
5. Was it during the same session or did you quit first then restart 
the prog?
6. What type of crash? hanging? Macsbugs meeting? reboot necessary?
7. What was on screen at that time?
8. At which step in the parsing process the prog crashed?
9. How did you select the file (button click, menu, drag & drop on the 
main window or on the icon's app)?
10. Was it a small, medium or large text file?
11. Was it the same file that worked the first time?

It cannot even run now.
12. What exactly happens when you try to execute the prog? Any error 
message? The code compiles but the app is not launched?
13. What happens if you try to use the debugger?
14. Can you run any other code without problem?
15. Just in case, did you make some changes to the original code?
