@Gunnar Hjalmarsson It is definitely meaningful to distinguish between hanging and crashing. It is always meaningful, because in a hang (construed in the broadest sense of the term), a program continues running indefinitely without doing anything, whereas in a crash, it terminates abnormally. There are not very many problems that will cause both hangs and crashes in the same program in response to the same user action. The adverb "eternally" makes it clear that the term "hang" in this bug report was *not* being used to refer to a crash.
