my app causes Beta4 to hang
My setup: Host machine is 2GHz MacBook Pro, 1Gb RAM, running OS 10.4.5.
Guest OS is WinXP Pro with default memory and disk settings.

An open source, cross-platform Life app I'm helping to write can cause
PW to hang. The steps are 100% reproducible:

- Go to http://sourceforge.net/project/showf...roup_id=139354
and download golly-0.95b-win.zip.

- Unpack the zip archive and run golly.exe.

- Draw an arbitrary pattern, then run it by hitting return or clicking
the play button in the tool bar.

- The pattern runs but after a few secs the dreaded rainbow cursor
appears and I have to force quit PW.

The app runs fine on a real WinXP machine (and under Virtual PC) so
this must be a bug in PW. It's a show-stopping bug for me so I'm hoping
there's a fix in the next release.

Anybody else see this sort of problem in other apps?
