[TxMt] Hanging shell scripts (was Re: Serious bug with Python syntax highlighting)

[Rob Shearer]

Couldn't find anything in the ticketing system, so filed a few bugs:

http://macromates.com/ticket/show?ticket_id=1623690B (commands which  
run out of memory)
http://macromates.com/ticket/show?ticket_id=71320E1A (snippet-invoked  
commands)
http://macromates.com/ticket/show?ticket_id=50C52FED (hard-to- 
identify bug with re-opening after crash)

Feel free to note the tickets if there are already workarounds that  
I'm not aware of (beyond just not doing stupid things that hang or  
run out of memory).
