Doug,

Do me a favor and let me know the date of your Subs AppleScript.Incl 
file. The older header had a bug that caused it to leak on repeated 
calls.

Sounds like you have 175 entries in your AddressBook, but why it's 
stuck in that loop is a puzzle to me.

Could some of you other other list members try running the code 
posted earlier in this thread in OS X and report the results? I'd 
greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,

Ken
