[chuck-users] spork ~ { } => big crash.

[Robin Davies]

I'm not sure if this is a bug or not. Whether it supposed to work or
not, I'm guessing that it shouldn't crash. 
 
Found in: miniaudicle 0.1.3.7.
 
This works:
 
    spork ~ DelayedNoteOff(duration);
 
This causes a crash. (In fact, anything with a { } following "spork ~"
crashes.:
 
fun void Play(float note, float velocity, Dur duration)
{
   .... 
    spork ~ 
    {
        duration => now;
        instr.noteOff(0.6);
    }
}
 
Trying to execute any ensemble that includes this fragment causes
miniaudicle to exit with a fatal error.
 
If it's a bug, and if there's a bug tracking system, let me know, and
I'll log full and exact details. The language spec is ambiguous about
whether this is legal or not. But I could have sworn that this worked in
previous builds (if for no other reason than that I liked the idea so
much that I was tempted to swipe the idea for a language of my own).
