Nope can't say I've seen that. but let me propose a thought that might
help find it.
What i'd suggest is in EventSensor>>processEvent:
either on the interrupt key, or add a new signal say cmd-?
To have it wake up a high priority task and dump all the processor
stacks somewhere and other information, say
append to a text file. That way when it happens, maybe just maybe you
can hit cmd-? a couple
of times and capture some information then look for something that
looks odd.
ps you have an example, or what you think is an example? That I can try?
