One problem I've seen with the browser.wddx file - which seemed to cause
Spectra to hang on it - is that a struct element is created with an empty
key - for instance, stBrowser['']. I did not look into why this happened
or what part of the code caused a problem, but removing that key (both from
the file and the in-memory struct) seemed to clear things up.
Just mentioning it in case it helps ...
