For what it's worth, the symptoms described here seem to be very close to what I get with HV Cinelerra under Slackware 10.2 on an intermittant basis (but under slightly different circumstances). When I load a project (either from the command line or File|Open) Cinelerra appears to do the right thing - the windows display but the respective content never appears and the program becomes totally unresponsive. In my case this happens perhaps one every 5 times (although it does appear to be linked to the complexity of the project being opened). There have been a number of reports of lockups over the past 12 months, some of which are fixed by tweaking parts of the source code. It seems to me (having never had time to look into the issue in detail) that there is a locking-related race condition in cinelerra which is more reproducable on certain systems and/or under certain environments. Knowing an environment which reliably causes the lock ups may help debug the problem. Then again, there could be several unrelated issues.
