It's not compiler anything (other than I had my userfloatprefs mucked 
up, found that out at least, I failed to move the old ones over)

I've found from a few hours of tedium, that I have a weirdly acting 
globals file for my newly installed Curves that somehow negates the 
install of FN SetupPolltime or otherwise mucks the globals it 
uses...because if I move Polltime.incl up in the pack, it now installs 
correctly, and my progress bars return (a secondary but non-crashing 
clue, pre-existing and available even in 10.2.8!)

I use FN KillSpinningCursor all over the place, for allowing progress 
bar updates during filtering, and these were not working...moving the 
file around corrects it, and now all works.

Bernie downloaded a logging version for me and that showed that things 
are frying during the splash cycle, and that does call FN 
KillSpinningCursor, and thus Fn Polltime....


So, once I fathom how I am mucking up memory, or otherwise causing some 
static global issue with Polltime, that should cure it. (though just 
moving the file does anyway).

But this is offering a clue to something just not right I'd bet 
somewhere...so I don't want to just move it. Will update when I figure 
it out exactly , unless it turns out to be a voodoo var thing.

Thanks for the aid and downloads...sorry I didn't zero in on it 
earlier, but the AddAbsoluteToAbsolute in John's log which is used by 
Polltime and then noticing my progress bars weren't working either , 
when they are updated via that, sealed the deal.

Thanks thanks thanks.
