In interactive GUI applications I tried similar things. In console
applications I have no problems locating infinit loops.
I think I need more info about your project in order to help.

Which kind of application are you working on ?
* interactive GUI app.
* mod_ruby dynamic-html stuff.
* non-interactive application.

Are your using mutexes, semaphores, processes, threads ?
