FWIW, I had the 'tight loop' problem a lot from 4.04-4.08.  Running 4.5
now and have had the problem once in about 2 months.  Used to get it
about every week with 4.0x.  4.0x also crashed fairly often on sig10's,
which I haven't seen with 4.5.  It's certainly bigger, and it FEELS
slower interactively sometimes, but it not crashing (with my customary
25+ windows open) is well worth that.
