At a guess I would say it was an underlying problem with the
communication between IDL and the OS. Since it is a GUI problem then I
would say that it is most likely a dead lock of some kind.
This is the part where you write into your contract
" We take no responsibilty and provide no guaruntee that the IDL VM will
run sucessfully on your installaton. "
What's the CPU usage when IDL enters this bizzare state? Are there any
error logs to the event log (in Windows control panel).
