tracking down freeze based on timing, maybe?

Jacque alluded to a loop that never ends. You gave handler1, handler2, handler1. Does handler1 call handler2? Might this be recursive with no way out?

Without knowing what's happening in your handlers, there's not really any way to guess at what might be going on, but you might try using the flushEvents function to ignore extra or unwanted click events.

Dated looking doc reference here: http://docs.runrev.com/Function/flushEvents
