So you're the *other* person who uses ampersand modules :)

There's nothing there to hang...  at that point it's just parsing the modules
file & building the server-side sandbox.  Apart from the obvious (using (null)
as a prefix, which will be fixed in the next release) it looks fine up to that
point.  btw. If you specify a -d option it'll override the null until the
fixed version is out.

If it crashes you'll get a dialog on the console asking if you want to produce
a crash dump.  If you don't get that it probably hasn't crashed.

At this point I'd suggest building a debug version and stepping through it,
but if you're not a C person it'll be difficult.
