I can say that is not what is happening (because it would not be using 
any CPU if it were waiting for input), but I will humour you the next 
time I see it freeze.  I have (once) had that happen (make waiting for 
input that is), but I never thought of hitting ^D.


And, just for completeness, I built and ran a CVS version from about an 
hour ago, and it has not failed yet (350 iterations).  So, maybe someone 
already fixed this problem after Feb21.
