Can't do it. Lots of reasons why, the solution for Lattice 3.1 is to make
sure that you code either calls "CheckAbort()" or sets up an interrupt
for break signals.

I'm not laughing, but you should know that the 5.0 release of Lattice
includes a debugger that a) you can run your program under and have
it break out when it is hung, or b) start the debugger after you
code gets hung and "attach" to it, change the code that is causing it
to hang and then let it finish. Your best bet is to upgrade.
