Not quite the same symptoms but similar: I just experienced a hang in 
the SE. Narrowed it down to a repeat loop in the behavior script. I'll 
submit a PR for this, but in the meantime, at line 2060 in handler 
autoCompleteIFsAreBalanced

    repeat
       put offset(tBeginAsterix, pScript) into tCharBegin
       if tCharBegin is 0 then exit repeat
       put offset(tEndAsterix, pScript) into tCharEnd
       delete char tCharBegin to tCharEnd of pScript
    end repeat

change that to

    repeat
       put offset(tBeginAsterix, pScript) into tCharBegin
       if tCharBegin is 0 then exit repeat
       put offset(tEndAsterix, pScript) into tCharEnd
       if tCharEnd is 0 then
          exit repeat -- stay out of trouble
       end if
       delete char tCharBegin to tCharEnd of pScript
    end repeat
