V4RB 2.2 VPicture Revisted

[Bob Keeney]

Sorry I am very dense, but this is driving me crazy.  I am storing a  
picture using this code using API way:

  if me.RecordExists(myID) then
       me.RecID = myID
       me.mPicture.WritePictureAs myPic, EVPictType.kUnknown, 100  // 
<-HARD CRASH
       me.UpdateRecord
       me.Flush
  end

I get a hard crash as soon as the WritePictureAs method is called.  I  
*know* 100% that myPic is valid picture because I can view it in RB  
debugger.

Here's the crash log:

The end user can pick any graphic file that can be displayed on the  
Mac and put it into the database.  What am I doing wrong and how do I  
fix it?

Why the hard crash?  Shouldn't the plugin fail gracefully and  
generate VException rather than die a horrible death?
