Re: Problem with installing from URI (A guess) [plastercast plastercast tzo com]

Michael,
	When I say 'hard freeze', I mean that the program seems itself 
stops working, and if I window shade the app, and then unshaded it, GTK 
doesn't refresh the window (ie, its a blank square).  I have tried 
running the program from the console, and the only text that is 
displayed when there is a freeze is an "A" (bizarre, no?), which my 
program itself isn't responsible for, so it might be a library's 
doing.  However, after some random playing around, if I simply hit 
enter when the "A" is displayed on the console, it goes back to the 
program fine.  This also seems to make it all the more bizarre that it 
happens intermittently.  Here is a back trace from the freeze, but not 
hitting enter:
