That sounds a *lot* like a software bug. Particularly, some supporting
thread gets stuck in an infinite loop (or some wake event or some such
never gets reset), but the main thread continues. Main thread dies
when the app is closed, but the supporting thread continues.
I'd suggest trying older versions until you find what the last version
was that didn't have the bug, and then file a bug report so the
developer can get it fixed.
