I had a similar problem some time ago that I solved by adding in a bit of a
delay before doing the quit. For example:

on doQuit
wait 10 ticks
quit
end doQuit

This seemed to solve most of the freezing problems. To solve the rest I
added in a few other handlers for closing all open stacks etc before doing
the final quit. Probably overkill but it seems to do the trick.
