I've found with Windows Vista producing histograms or regression on even moderately large datasets will lead to hangs (long periods of inactivity). This is not a bug in Gnumeric but an issue with RAM usage and Vista. The fix is to have students or your users either:
1) Remove some apps from the startup list in Vista (itunes, msmsg, blah,blah...) so that not so many programs are running simultaneously or... 2) Do ctrl-alt-delete and kill process for the logged-in user just for the session currently running. Vista by itself requires something like 1GB of RAM so your milage may vary depending on available RAM.
