Hmm, well it's not crashing just hanging.  And it may not be optlink but 
dmd.  I do all my work on an external usb/firewire drive so that could 
be an issue (like optlink waiting for a file lock to be released?). 
Also it doesn't happen very often.  Maybe 1 out of 50 is too high an 
estimate.  More like once every few days (and I recompile things a lot).

It always works if I Ctrl-C and try again, so a repro will be difficult.

Other possibilities -- I also started using a cmd wrapper called 
"Console" about the same time as getting into D, so maybe that could 
also be related I suppose. [http://sourceforge.net/projects/console/]. 
It is a bit flaky at times.

In short it's really not a big issue.  Just something I see 
occasionally.  I posted it mostly to see if anyone else was silently 
seeing the same sorts of things.  If no-one else has seen this then it's 
most likely due to something in my particular setup.
