Hmmm, we hat similar problems in the past, but I've added a workaround
for the shutdown problem (an ugly _alMicroSleep(1) :-P ). Obviously this
hack fails now somehow. The deadlock (if it is really one) doesn't
happen for me with the programs I've tested, do you have a short test
program demonstrating the problem? Which OS do you use exactly?

Cheers,
