This returning to the prompt when pressing the Return key is something I also see quite often, I've not been sure that it is an indicator of a crash during the termination of the Denemo process, I think perhaps not, as that should be accompanied by a message from GDB about the signal received (e.g. SEGFAULT ...).

That would be the process hanging (ie repeatedly looping over some section of code) and that would indicate a fault in the process termination. I can only guess that the thread code is not stopping correctly and something ends up waiting for something else - I think that would result in some (fairly harmless) zombie process or something when run outside gdb. Can anyone who regularly uses Denemo on a GNU/Linux system say whether they notice anything strange on exit when not run under gdb control? I think this will have to wait the arrival on the Denemo team of fresh talent! It doesn't seem to be a serious nuisance, and perhaps doesn't even happen on Windows where most users are. (Please speak up Windows users if you know differently!)
