Hi Mike, Whenever you need to do some cleaning, length calculating, neighbor finding or any other geoprocessing which depends on real distances, it's best not to have your data in decimal degrees. Use a Reprojector before those transformers to reproject to a local coordinate system, and then another Reprojector afterwards before writing out, if necessary. If this doesn't help your situation with the MRFCleaner, please send your workspace, log file, and sample data to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and we'll do our best to resolve this stalling and shut-down problem for you.
