- There are many possible explanations. The most likely fix is to
- download the latest bleeding edge upgrade (1.99q12) and install that.
- It fixes several problems that could cause your machine to hang like
- that.
-
- If you find that even q12 hangs also, try:
-
- executor -desperate
-
- [Note that "executor -desperate" is not available with plain 1.99q.]
-
- Good luck, and please let me know what you discover!
