I get the exact same message everytime I try to halt the system using
NCLOSURE. It looks exactly like the above except that the second
line says "pid 137 (NCLOSURE)..." instead of "pid 47 (SCREEN)...". It
has done so ever since I started running N.AES on top of KGMD,
regardless of MiNT-version.

It has never happened in another situation though.

Neither do I (ofcourse :-), I guess it was just a coincidence. Btw. 
aMAIL is (according to it's homepage) in "pre-beta testing", perhaps
that's the source of your problem?

As I understand it it wasn't the application itself that crashed (in
your case SCREEN), but something it did that made MiNT crash. My guess
is that it's N.AES' fault.
