i have encountered a very bizarre bug.. i have a method which looks
something like the following:

displayObjects() // (called from draw() )
{
updateScreenComponents();

while(true)
{

}

}

updateScreenComponents() does never run and processing freezes. when
removing the while block it works as intended.. (this is in windows version
only, same source has been tested with linux-processing where it works
perfectly)

tested on pentium mobile centrino 1.6ghz with 700mb ram (windows xp)

this is using latest version of processing

that\'s your own bug. it\'s called an infinite loop. if you put the code into
a tight loop that it can never exit from, you\'re going to hose the machine
of its resources. the same will be true for any other language, java, c++, etc.
