What I meant was what Havoc described more clearly, that whatever you do
to catch the situation where an app is hanging will always be
fundamentally flawed. You're better off, therefore, leaving those users
that can to kill the application and those users that are bothered to file
a bug and get the app fixed.

Cheers,
