The total system freeze appears to happen at the moment of initiating
a save operation.
For the first time ever, I have just had MessPro sitting on the icon
bar after running it and it refusing to sort itself out into a running
program claiming that the NewsRCfile was incomplete. This behaviour of
MessPro followed a crash of the sort described above: total system
freeze.
I had a look, and found that the backup 'NewsRCfile~' was 64k, whilst
the corresponding real 'NewsRCfile' was just 4k! I sorted it out.
On other occasions, the crash seemed to happen during a save in OvPro.
In all cases, the save operation failed, leaving just the older
version which was intact, despite the newer version having the same
filename. So, it looks like it doesn't even start to save the file to
disc before freezing.
