Hello,

  Two times Scilab was stuck after 20 hours of simulation (I used to do 
simulations that need more than one week with Scilab 5). It was big simulation 
with many levels of iterations (to evaluate probabilities), with intermediate 
results written in files (different files with save command and timestamp), and 
with the iteration numbers written in the Scilab window (so many output lines). 
All worked fine still Scilab locks with:
- no CPU activity (Scilab really stops all calculus, but not exits),
- low memory use as expected (no mem leakage),
- the Scilab window blocked, showing the intermediate iteration numbers (Scilab 
is blocked within an iteration, there is no input-output issues in this part of 
the code), but nothing can be done (CTRL-C, CTRL-D or any control command).
I must kill the Scilab process within a Shell terminal. I also executed the 
"faulty" iteration alone (with 1e4 sub-iterations in more or less 2 hours), but 
there is no problem. I obtained the result. So I can get around the problem, 
but not solved it.

Is there some known limitations? limited prompt lines for example...

Thanks
