<IMHO>
I might question why an application should 'lock up' without throwing an
exception since it then implies an infinite loop or processing intensive loop
failing to give user feedback during processing.
<IMHO>
Even so, perhaps it is possible to supply a message handler for the
'close application' sent by windows pior to forcing a shutdown.
