If you mean the rainbow beachball, that's a different thing. Judging 
from the lack of response, it must be something in my setup. All I can 
think of is a stray "lock messages" command, but those are supposed to 
reset at the end of pending handlers and that isn't happening. But if 
the problem were widespread I guess there'd be all kinds of reports 
about it. It's incredibly irritating.

And here I was hoping it wasn't my fault.
