Strangely enough, I get that too. Seems like the IDE-compiler gets

fine, just compiling refuses to go further than "Compilation
aborted." The
command-line compiler is not affected. Restarting the IDE gets the
F9-compilation running again and reporting errors right.
I think this has only happened to me if there were errors to be
reported.
Never hung yet when compiling error-free code.
The problem is that the compiler contains quite a lot of global
variables. When the compiler is used from the command line (or when
the IDE is initially started), these are all 0. When you have multiple
compilations within one execution (such as with multiple compilations
in the IDE), these variables must be explicitly reinitialised for each
compilation, or the next compilation can be influenced by the results
of the previous one. These initialisations are however forgotten from
time to time.
