Dear Group,
The Quit[] command isn't supposed to shut down the front-end (thus losing new entries since the last Save), so far as i can tell. However, if I have had a session running for several hours, typing Quit[] and evaluating it shuts down Mathematica completely, both the Kernel and Frontend. The same command evaluated just a few minutes into a running session does what it's supposed to (just terminate the Kernel).
Has anyone some hints about this?
This is on Version "7.0 for Linux x86 (32-bit) (November 11, 2008)"; however, I know it happened with 6.0 for Linux, too (can't remember about the Windows versions).
