Can you run nedit under truss or ktrace? It may be stuck in a loop because of a bug. You should be able to run it under truss, for example, by opening a new terminal window and typing: truss -o nedit.log nedit Then when nedit gets stuck, wait a bit to let truss collect some tracing information, and kill nedit. Attach the output of truss in a message to the list. Someone may find useful information about nedit's blocking in the final bits of the trace file.
