Thanks for the confirmation. Now I know this isn't local to my system.
In hindsight, I think my experience with the system lockup was due to
the fact that I had lost the focus on the error message dialogs and
could no longer access anything with the mouse. I'm guessing here, but
since I've had a chance to experiment with just the single test, it
seems that might be what happened.
