LiveCode-Indy_...".hang"

I'm seeing on both my Macs where LiveCode 7.1.4 and 8.1.9 exhibit "hangs" at some inexplicable and random points; the spinning beachball starts and the app (in all windows) is frozen. Of course, I need to force-quit and re-launch.

I've examined the logs in Console and find a number of log entries entitled "LiveCode-Indy_2018-05-20-220843_Barry's-iMac.hang" (and other dates/times). Rather than paste in that log entry, I've copied it to a text file and attached it (zipped).

I can't figure out what's causing this. By the way, LC v9 is, on my machines, simply crashing and just "going away", so it's not an alternative.

Ideas gratefully welcomed.

Thanks,
Barry

So what OS is on your mac?
What do you mean by "hangs"?
When does LC 9 crash? When you open a stack or when you just open LC9?

I've been running 10.12.x for over a year. Updated to 10.12.6 when it came out. All security updates.

"hang" means exactly that: LC simply stops and refuses to respond. I must force-quit.

I must admit I haven't done any development work in a number of months so I'll have to play some and then post again.
