Sure, I'll try to make the hang happen if you send me a copy of your affected database. If there's a particular card or subset of cards causing it _sometimes_, how about a testing strategy like this: 1. Copy the entire deck, call it "test" 2. Remove the bottom half of cards in the test deck 3. Copy "test" to "testB" 4. Open testB in Mnemosyne and run through that deck, giving random grades until either running out of cards or hanging 5. If no hang, quit Mnemosyne 6. Either go to step 3 and repeat the test until you're confident that either the hang happens for these cards or does not happen, or 7. Go back to step 1, performing a new search on either the top half of the original deck (if you couldn't find the hang this time), or the bottom half of the test deck, and keep narrowing it down until you have a deck with only one or a few cards in it which reliably hangs.
