I'm running build 1.0.1-239-gc81e6ca portably from the same stick on several PCs running XP, Vista and Windows 7. On all three, GD runs perfectly normally for some minutes, then suddenly hangs without an obvious cause. The hanging is so serious that even Windows Task Manager cannot end the process. No other software responds, and I normally have to reboot.
The freeware Dependency Walker reports that Goldendict.exe uses IEFRAME.DLL, which in turn calls IESHIMS.DLL , but IESHIMS.DLL is flagged as missing.
Could that be the explanation for the hanging?
