Overflow bug
Seems that Scratch doesn't have a catch for overflows...
4 lines, essentially just a loop with x+= x^x each time... kill time is usually about 2-3 seconds. Sometimes it brings up the debug window, other times it just kills Scatch, others it freezes the computer, but I kind of expected Scratch to catch this one.

The embedded java has a catch for it to prevent it from going evil, but downloading the program and running it will kill Scratch.

Sometimes bugs just show up, whether you want them or not. You write a lot of code and something will slip through the cracks. It doesn't reflect on the project or even the quality of the coders.
