I have a problem. I'm working on a very big m4l device and it's very close to finished.

Since 2 day's I have a freeze at loading the device at maybe 35% of the time, sometimes the freeze happens totally random when after using it maybe for 15 minutes, but its more rare.

The freeze is a freeze that makes my mouse and keyboard not function, no input is registered...but I can move my mouse and turn on/off my capslock. Hitting cmd-alt-esc and then cancelling the force quit make's my system come alive as if nothing happened.

But I'm NOT on maverick but on snow leopard!

it doesn't happen on previous beta versions and when I added to the patch since the crash is nothing special, no java, git, externals etc. Since I changed a lot of different patches since the freeze occurring, it's gonna take some time to track down what is causing it, but I wanted to post this in case anybody knows more about this.

Tomorrow I will do an attempt to find the cause by removing all the new code and slowly adding it bit by bit...I'll report in this thread.

I'm really praying it's not because m4l can't handle a certain sized device :/.

maxpat's count: 45 files (subpatches, bpatches etc)

load time (unfreezed, i7 i7-870 / 2.93 GHz. 8gb ram,

osx 10.6.8): 17 sec (yes, it's a lot :S).

already did a full fresh install of max 6 and removed the Application Support files.
