Hi Zav,

We have try to reproduce this crash with all our best efforts,
And we was NOT able to crash Director.

We have take example001 script of V4MD.
This example have handler

On CreateDB
    set gDB = new ( xtra "VDatabase" )
    createDatabase( gDB, "dbname.vdb", 4 )

    ......
end


So we 
1) start Director
2) open this script
3) do not run it so there is call ValentinaInit()
4) type in the Message window "CreateDB"

NO CRASH!

We get Error Dialog from Director:
    "Handler not defined"

For line 
    createDatabase( gDB, "dbname.vdb", 4 )

And this is quite normal because prev line was not able create gDB object,
and we can see this in debugger window. So Director even cannot call
createDatabase().

We have try the same with openDatabase().
Again, functions are even not called because object gDB is bad.

-----------------
Zav, now I need your help to reproduce your problem.
You really know some secrets how to crash Director :-)

I need from you simple project and EXACT STEPS to do to reproduce.
Please provide them to me ASAP.
