TGB 1.7.3 won't quit

Hi,
When I call "quit();" TGB doesn't quit while I have a game level loaded (quitting from the my main menu works fine). If the game is running in full screen, the computer locks up. If I run in windowed mode, I can kill from the task manager. When tracing it in the script debugger, it locks on the "quit" command. I have also tried a custom quit function that stopped the music, ran "endLevel" on my scenegraph, and then called "quit". In that custom function, it seems to get stuck on "%scenegraph.clearScene(true)" Anyone have any ideas why this might be? I've got a deadline and need to get this working.
UPDATE:
I got it working. I have to manually remove all of my objects from the scene and then run schedule(1000, 0, "quit") to dodge the crash. Not ideal, but at least it works.

That's a strange problem you were having. Calling quit should be the only thing you have to do. Does clicking the program's X box in the corner work while in window mode? Does calling quit from the console work in either the windowed or the fullscreen mode?

Negative on both accounts. Clicking on "X" button or typing "quit" in the console window doesn't help.

Are you working on an accursed Macintosh?

BTW, this wasn't a problem in TGB 1.5 and (maybe) 1.6.
