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. -- :wq
