Updated!!

I'm using grails console to debug some code and it keeps freezing, on what I think are null pointer exceptions,.. I found that wrapping the script in a try catch brace reduces the number of crashes dramatically, but it doesn't prevent it altogether. I noticed on my laptop with the same JVM and OS that it doesn't happen. I'm starting to think that it's caused by the switch device I have my keyboard plugged into - but the ALt+F4 combination will still close the window
