Dictionary usage and IDE hang

[David Glass]

I'll try to keep better track of exactly what is going on when it 
happens, and report back.

Almost positive the script editor is open since I'm looking up syntax to 
figure out the best way to write whatever handler/behavior I'm working on.

I don't think I've been debugging when it happens, but can't be 
positive.  Will have to pay closer attention.

No closestack handlers.

As to customization, I have the tm palettes and DGH active (palettes 
open).  I can list the contents of my Plugins menu if you think it's 
relevant.
