It did it again after I sent that mail - just as I was re-drawing the scrap
that it had lost! That's far too often. I have 20km of cave to draw - I am
going to get very annoyed if I keep losing chucks...

Difficult to track this sort of think down I know. I'll see if I can work
out what is going on. Are there any 'escape' mechanisms in wish/tcl that
might let me regain control? or debug mechanisms that might tell us where it
got stuck? The CPU use is not excessive, but the app is unresponsive - so it
is presumably blocking waiting for something.

I could run it under strace I suppose...
