tracking down freeze based on timing, maybe?

[Matt Maier]

Yeah, there's a lot happening so I can't paste it into an email.

Does Livecode have any kind of logging built into it? Maybe something that
shows what it was doing when it froze? The logging I add to my handlers
only lets me know what's NOT causing the freeze. My logs show all of my
handlers exiting and no new ones starting when everything locks up.

 Is there a way for something a handler was doing to hang around after the
handler ends and kind of stack up?

I tried putting get flushEvents("all") at several points in the execution
path but it didn't make a difference.
