Sounds like Rev got into some kind of infinite loop. I've been hitting 
these periodically myself lately. If Cmd-period doesn't stop it (and it 
doesn't always) you can usually quit by option-clicking on the Rev icon 
in the dock. Hold down the mouse on the Rev icon, and when the menu 
appears, hold down the option key. That changes the "quit" menu item to 
"force quit". Usually you have to choose "force quit" twice; the first 
one isn't enough to kill it.

You still lose all your work, but at least you don't have to launch 
terminal. Not much consolation, I know.
