Hi John, thanks for the reply and patch :)

It doesn't fix the problem, nope... as far as making it worse, maybe,
the loading screen froze when reaching 100% the first time I tried which
is something that hasn't happened before, the second try was fine for
quite a while until the infamous deadlock.

Any suggestions to help track this down? I can't do a +relay as it slows
the game down to around 2fps and even after trying for a half hour I
couldn't make it freeze.  Any suggestions are more than welcome, -Dan

Again she fled, but swift he came. Tin'^Huviel! Tin'^Huviel! He called
her by her elvish name; And there she halted listening. One moment stood
she, and a spell His voice laid on her: Beren came And doom fell on
Tin'^Huviel That in his arms lay glistening. As Beren looked into her
eyes Within the shadows of her hair, The trembling starlight of the
skies He saw there mirrored shimmering. Tin'^Huviel the elven-fair,
Immortal maiden elven-wise, About him cast her shadowy hair And arms
like silver glimmering. Long was the way that fate them bore, O'er stony
mountains cold and grey, Through halls of iron and darkling door, And
woods of nightshade morrowless. The Sundering Seas between them lay, And
yet at last they met once more, And long ago they passed away In the
forest singing sorrowless. -- J. R. R. Tolkien
