> thanks This appears to be something in the way Rakudo Star is built. If I install Rakudo Star 2016.11, I get the hang, but if build a 2016.11 Rakudo, then I get no hang. (tried it also with a 2016.04 Star and building an earlier commit too; same result: Star hangs, built from source doesn't). I'm on Windows 10, using its standard "Command Prompt" to build things: C:\Users\zoffi>gmake -v GNU Make 4.1 Built for x86_64-w64-mingw32 Copyright (C) 1988-2014 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
