locked_ui

here's a strange problem I've been having for a while
but never reported as its very odd.
whenever I run a loop in maxscript (in 3d studio max)
servant salamander will lock up. it is then released once
the maxscript stops evaluating. normally no big deal as
the scripts are quick but recently I've been running long
batch operations that lock me out of salamander for
hours!

any leads as to what might be causing this?
thanks,

Do you start these scripts from Salamander? If yes, how? (drag&drop, double-click, etc)

You can also try to start two Salamanders and test if both instances are locked during script is running.

The scripts are launched from within 3dsmax.
A second servant salamander will lock up too.
My guess is max is hogging some shared resource.
Are there any utilities I can use to test this?

I have no idea how to simply debug this problem. You can try Process Monitor: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysint ... nitor.mspx. But I'm not sure if you see anything interesting.

Can someone else reproduce this problem?
