SN freezes when importing file with malformed code

SN freezes when importing file with malformed code

[Albert Wong]

	I just compiled and installed source navigator for the first time
and tried to create a new project, importing a source tree I had.  The
source tree was mostly c++, except at some point, I had accidentally
overwritten one of the .cc files with a code from a lisp-like language,
and when importing that code, Source Navigator just froze.  Is this
suppoed to happen?  I'd think that there'd be some checks for malformed
input.

Albert, could you create a really small test case for this problem
and post it to the list? If you can get it down to one file in
a directory that would be best. Did SN freeze and never come back
or did it start working again after some amount of time? We
need a test case to be able to figure out if SN is getting
stuck or if it is that parser that is getting stuck.
