You don't happen to use BindNames or a similar program to do the assigns?
BindNames has a bug that will cause it to hang the machine under these
circumstances.
Either have the directories present, make the SYS:, L:, Libs:, Fonts: etc
assigns explicit in BindNames, or use the real assign command.
If you use the Assign command already, I'll keep quiet...
