I have a script that reads a series of Filemaker records, doing some processing and writing out a file based on each one. As it goes along it accumulates some information (title, abstract, filename, etc.) about each item in an Applescript record; at the end it read throughout the recoed and writes out a summary -- essentially a table of contents. 

All fine until we upgraded to Mountain Lion. Now it reads two or three records and then hangs in the middle of the next one. At first I though one of the Filemaker records was corrupted, but switching them around doesn't change the results. It seems as if Applescript is saying "Hey, I can only do so much of this and then I have to quit." The information read in from the Filemaker record presumably is overwritten each time, as it's assigned to the same Applescript variable. The best idea I can come up within that Applescript can only store so much information ion its own record. Or that the stuff being read in *doesn't* feet flushed. 

Ran the same script on a machine running Tiger. No problems. 

Any ideas?
