vbsp is crashing before it does anything! [SOLVED]
I don't know what the heck is happening, but now my map won't compile. Vbsp, the first process, crashes before outputting anything of significance. The only thing I changed prior to this problem was adding two cube_dropper_multiple_normal.vmf instances and some Input/Output(s) for them.
Screenshot attached. Help?
I see that all the time when compiling, the yellow text doesn't matter.
Is there red text and when compiling?
check the box that says wait for key press when done compiling.
There is no more text. That screenshot is all I get before I get a windows box saying "vbsp.exe has crashed". If I let the program continue to run, I get errors because there are no files for vvis or vrad to use. And yes, "Wait for key press" is always checked for me.

The floor cube button called "cubeshort" has a problem with one of its outputs. Specifically: OnPressed - cubedrop1 - instance:cube_dropper:Trigger. Deleting this output makes the level compile. I don't know why though.

Well, that is not what I would call "failing gracefully", Valve 
Many thanks Robdon and Mevious; it compiles well now.
Yeah, unfortunately, hammer is very un-forgiving for errors
I have thought about writing some kind of small app that 'verifies' .vmf files and reports on any problems that we find, but not got around to it yet, and we dont seem to get 'too' many of these problems.
