"Only" on single-processor machines.
Oh, that's interesting. But if I do that on a dual core machine, it won't let me "End Task"-- I have to actually kill the wish process manually,
You mean you cannot do "end task" in the "Applications" tab of the Task Manager but you do "end process" in the "Processes" tab?
after which the task manager still says that CPU usage is at 100%. And if I try to start Pd again, it's visibly slower, and if I try to bang another [until] it will freeze the entire computer
Have you tried killing the "Pd.exe" (or pd.com) process instead of the "wish" one? Wish is the gui. Usually killing any of them will cause the other one to die, but in this case I guess the frozen one is pd proper and (I guess again) it doesn't "realise" the wish process has been killed.
