Subject: Infinite loop printing "={floppy}helvetica12.strike..."

Lisp Version: Fugue6

Description: '
Yesterday  at Tektronix I experienced the following ':'
    -Started with fresh sysout date 04-10-84'
    -Loaded Grapher.Dcom from floppy'
    -After prompted the date file was created and loaded, top typescript window started to be filled up with ={floppy}helvetica12.strike....'
    -Hit Stop key, then ^B.'
    -dropped into break window'
    -REseted Fontdirectories in Break window'
    -Selected Revert then OK'
    - File was loaded beautifully.'
Shouldn''t it give a broken window with message to indicate files not found, instead of popping up an infinite number of ={floppy}helvetica12.strike....?
