Using NT 4, SP 5, the Beans.ocx is involved in all of the crashes I've
experienced using just the simple Juggler app provided in the BDK.

In all of the VBA editors of the Office 2000 suite (except PowerPoint), placing
the Packager-created Juggler Bean Control onto a VBA form (all by itself)
causes a crash when attempting to save the form. In VBA, the Juggler works
fine, until you save the project.

Create a simple form in Excel's VBA editor and place just the Juggler by
itself. Run the project. Juggler works fine. Save the project. This message
occurs:
EXCEL.EXE - Application Error (the OK/Cancel message box)
The instruction at "0x00000000" referenced memory at "0x00000000". The memory
could not be "read".
Click on OK to terminate the application
Click on CANCEL to debug the application.

Click on debug to have the VC++(6.0) debugger load the app. In the Context
dropdown (the call stack), the contents are:
00000000()
BEANS! 5013bebc()
02389c8a()
JVM! 504d4eae()
JVM! 5040e87a(), etc...

When using the ActiveX Control Test Container (TSTCON32.EXE), insert the
Juggler control and invoke stopJuggling1 (the method that doesn't take a
parameter). A VC++ runtime error will occur:
Runtime Error!
  Program: ..Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\Common\Tools\TSTCON32.EXE
abnormal program termination
(Invoking most of the methods (taking no parameters) will produce this error)

Click OK to receive the Application Error dialog which reads:
The instruction at "0x6c371351" referenced memory at "0x00000004". The memory
could not be "read".
Click on OK to terminate the application.

I also tried a third-party ActiveX container to host the Juggler. As in the
Office VBA apps, the Juggler runs fine, but when attempting to save the form,
this error occurs:
Application Error
The instruction at "0x5013c500" referenced memory at "0x00000000". The memory
could not be "read".
Click on OK to terminate the application
Click on CANCEL to debug the application

Click on Cancel to load the debugger, and an information message box appears:
Unhandled exception in 3rdpartyapp.exe (BEANS.OCX): 0xC0000005: Access
Violation.

and the call stack shows:
BEANS! 5013c500()
3rdpartyapp! 0043319f()
MFC42! 6c3eb284()
3rdpartyapp! 00430102()
etc...

Be sure to reboot between crashes. Occassionally, after the 1st Excel VBA
crash, later instances of Excel VBA will save the form without complaint
thereafter if you don't reboot after the 1st crash.
