Occasionally, while playing back the script, which does a simple operation in our application, the script hangs with an error message, "abnormal program termination", in its window (where the command, 'puts', will write its output).  As said above, this is not always.  Several times, the script plays back till the end.

At those times, I just re-run the script and the script runs fine.  I am using 'Ruby 185-21' and 'Watir gem', 1.5.1.1127.

I uninstalled 1.5.1.1100 and installed 1.5.1.1127 because 1.5.1.1100 was not allowing the script to handle pop-up windows.  It was throwing an error in the statement, require 'watir/contrib/enabled_popup', while trying to handle pop-ups.
