i know its kind of a stupid question, but what causes a program (or pd in particular) to become unresponsive ?
Typically, a program hangs when it is waiting for some kind of resource. This might be a system resource (allocating memory, reading/writing a file from/to disk, CPU ticks) or any other kind of resource like user input or response from network socket etc.
i just encountered that pd was stuck on looping a snipet of an audiofile…and i have no idea how to reproduce this...
Try this:
[loadbang] | [until]
(or rather: don't try this. It'll freeze Pd because it waits for infinite number of CPU ticks).
