	Setting a frame's parent to itself causes the client to crash on logout. MailFrame:SetParent(MailFrame) or GameTooltip:SetParent(GameTooltip) will do the trick. It's a rather silly thing to be trying to do, but it should pop an error not explode. What more work? I don't wanna do that. Yes m'Lord.

	Odd, it's supposed to detect when you're trying to reparent to itself.

	Sure enough, it wasn't checking that. In 1.9, if you try to set the parent of a frame to itself, or a frame parented by itself, you will get a Lua error instead of crashing. :)
