Well technicaly it's not the jump points themselves that get used, but a 
work alike section of code.   But once it's found a handler it sets the 
exiting to main menu flag and the callback from the handler (which is 
the same callback used by the jump map).

I've almost finished transitioning over to my spiffy new 200g harddrive 
(thanks to whoever posted about that by the way).  Once that's done and 
I've updated my partition  backups I'll see if I can cause it to hang.
