SYMPTOMS
========

When you run a form from a program that contains CLEAR DEBUGGER and SUSPEND
commands, the program suspends on the SUSPEND line. When you resume and run the
same program again, Visual FoxPro terminates after displaying the following
error:

  Called from - <procedure name and line number> {<path and
  filename>}

The procedure name and line number will contain the method or procedure
containing the SUSPEND command, and the line number of the line following the
SUSPEND command. The path and filename will contain the path and filename of the
file containing the method or procedure.
