Hi (again) Phil: Two further thoughts.
* All those preprocessing directives and fprintf calls I inserted make it extremely hard to understand the code. Thus, feel free to revert my two commits completely that inserted the debug output in PLMemoryMap:create and PLMemoryMap:close when you finally isolate exactly what system call is causing the long pause. But make that reverting commit a clean one (nothing else then exactly reverting my changes alone) to make it easy to reinstate my debug output again if we ever need it again. And I suggest you use a similar process for the debugging printout you insert (i.e., one clean commit to put in your own debug printout statements, one clean commit to remove that code again once you finally isolate the issue). * You will have to look at what your further debug print statements say to get the definitive answer, but my current guess is a call from -dev wxwidgets to some method of PLNamedMutex (or PLNamedMutexLocker) will turn out to be the cause of the long-pause issue.
