I see what you mean ... but my problem is that each loop basically calls one
method which encapsulates a ton of stuff, and it's somewhere in that deep
tree of objects calling other objects that it hangs -- I just don't know
where. Your solution for my particular problem would simply let me know
which time through the loop it hung -- but it's already being inconsistent
on which time it hangs (sometimes it's the 7th time through, sometimes the
10th...).

I did find this in pickaxe which works great, but unfortunately drastically
affected when my program hung (it hangs much earlier now ... sigh):

(In addition, AspectR was recommended for this sort of thing in previous
threads -- but the above solution is much faster to add...)
