That's... bizarre to say the least.  I just tested it on 3 different 
boxes/platforms and no hangups for me.

A few questions:
What platform are you on?
Did you compile from source, or install a binary package?

That's even more strange.  That bug was fixed about a year ago, iirc.  
If you're running from a recent copy of the code that shouldn't happen.

            <p>Hi,<br>
              <br>
              I have a couple of simple beginner Io questions, so don't

              <br>
              I'm trying to generate a random value between 0 and 100
              (just for example) with the following code:<br>
              <br>
              rand := Random value(100) round<br>
              <br>
              If I put this even in a file by itself and execute just
              that line, Io never processes the line and just freezes
              right there. If I interrupt execution I get a trace output
              something like this:<br>
              <br>
              IOVM:<br>
              Received signal. Setting interrupt flag.<br>
              cat <br>

              FileImporter import Z_Importer.io 125<br>

              true and Z_Importer.io 125<br>
              <br>
              These last 6 lines repeat over and over. Any idea what I'm
