If we're on the right track here, then having the script log the input data to a temp file before processing and deleting it when finished might be useful. When a process hangs the undeleted temp file would still be there for "forensic" examination, unless of course the argument itself causes the error. Either way we'd know more than we know now :-) We'll have to see what Peter thinks of our ramblings.
