Thanks for those excellent suggestions Dave (way above my head, but it's good 
to have the instructions to execute).

1. Current mode is kCFRunLoopDefaultMode
2. Nothing beginning with NSThread (same was true of my mini test app)
3. Yes, it broke at both those points, and there was something odd going on 
with the wake up - it says current mode is (none). It tried this on the mini 
test application, and it gave a mode of kCFRunLoopDefaultMode. So it looks as 
if we're getting somewhere in tracking down that there seems to be something 
wrong with the program at that point, but I really don't fully understand what 
it means or where to go next.
