I'm interested in seeing this happen. Moving or resizing windows
causes repaint events, window events, and mouse events. Thing is,
start() is called in the simplest way possible: when you press the
Play button. This of course happens inside a mouse event in the GUI,
in a single thread, so you I think it should be impossible for MASON
to receive events and thus hang in any weird way.

This means that either a queued up collection of mouse or window
events is freaking out MASON *after* start() has completed
(unlikely), or that it's a bug in your Java implementation (more
likely -- are you using Windows? Have you tested on Linux and/or
MacOS X?)

I'm get the freeze with example models as well, when using Windows XP (JRE 1.6 and latest JDK 1.5). I have tried to replicate the error on OS X, fortunately everything works fine there.
