I have written a GEM application that launches a long running 
application, writting text output to one window and graphs to
other windows. This works fine, except that - after running awhile -
the computer halts. It stays halted until the mouse is moved.
The mouse pointer is converted to a bee while the application is
running and back to a pointer when it re-enters the event_multi loop.
When the program locks up, the mouse pointer is still a bee. I am
running this on a Mega ST2, TOS 1.4, Viking Moniterm monitor.
Is this a known problem? Are there workarounds?

Any insight into this problem would be appreciated!
