Canvas.setContent() crashes Torque

Hello everyone, I have created a simple control and I am attempting to push it to the canvas, but when I use the Canvas.setContent method the engine crashes. I do not recieve any error messages in the console log or anything. Could someone please point me in the right direction ?

This is the gui code control I am using, I just copied it straight out of the starter.fps mainmenu gui. I had created my own, but it crashed so I tried a pre-existing one to see if it would fix the problem and it did not.
All of my files are being executed as well (according to the console log)

mainmenu.gui

new GuiChunkedBitmapCtrl(MainMenuGui) {
   Profile = "GuiContentProfile";
   HorizSizing = "width";
   VertSizing = "height";
   position = "0 0";
   Extent = "640 480";
   MinExtent = "8 8";
   Visible = "1";
   bitmap = "./background";
   useVariable = "0";
   tile = "0";
      helpTag = "0";
};

I create a canvas with the following code.

viewport.cs

function createViewport(%title)
{
	echo("Creating viewport canvas.");
	videoSetGammaCorrection($pref::OpenGL::gammaCorrection);
	//create the viewport and assign a resolution
	%newCanvas = createCanvas(%title);
	if (!%newCanvas)
	{
		quitWithErrorMessage("You can only have one instance of " @ %title @ " running at a time.");
	}
	
   	setOpenGLTextureCompressionHint( $pref::OpenGL::compressionHint );
   	setOpenGLAnisotropy( $pref::OpenGL::textureAnisotropy );
   	setOpenGLMipReduction( $pref::OpenGL::mipReduction );
   	setOpenGLInteriorMipReduction( $pref::OpenGL::interiorMipReduction );
   	setOpenGLSkyMipReduction( $pref::OpenGL::skyMipReduction );

	setScreenMode(800,600,16,false);
	OpenALInitDriver();
}

and I attempt to push the gui to the canvas in the following code, I tried both PushDialog() & setContent and they would both crash the engine.

init.cs

function OnStart()
	{
		Parent::OnStart();
		echo("------ Initializing Base ------");
		
		echo("Assigning defualt video settings.");
		//Assign default video settings
		$pref::Video::allowOpenGL = true;
		$pref::Video::displayDevice = "OpenGL";
		
		//location where mission files are stored.
		$server::MissionFiles = "*/missions/*.mis";
		
		//Get this game rolling
		exec("./client/viewport.cs");
		exec("./base.cs");
		createViewport($gameName);
		InitializeClient();
	}

base.cs

function InitializeClient()
{
	echo ("------ Initializing " @ $gameName @ " client ------");
	exec("./client/client.cs");
	exec("./Client/movement.cs");
	exec("./gui/mainMenu.gui");
	
	%conn = new GameConnection(ServerConnection);
	%conn.ConnectLocal();
	Canvas.setContent(MainMenuGui);
}

If I comment out the Canvas.setContent method the engine runs, I uncomment the method and I recieve a GPF.

Thanks in advance!
