On Windows XP, I run some pretty complex IDL gui applications that
always run well in IDL 6.4. Lately, in IDL 7.0, I've had a problem
where the Workbench window freezes (hourglass cursor) while the rest
of the gui applications remain up and running, responsive, and fine.
Usually it happens while I'm editing in the program window, or typing
a simple print statement (like adding two numbers) in the command
line. The Workbench hangs indefinitely until ctrl-alt-delete.
It seems just about impossible to debug in the usual way because it's
de-correlated from the gui apps, and it's not related to a program
execution error when it occurs. Any ideas?
BTW, this is on a recent quad-core Intel machine with 1 GB of RAM and
an up-to-date XP version.
