OK, But without seeing any code its hard to guess whats happening!

Thats usually a sign of one of two things:
1) An infinite loop. - You have inadvertantly entered a loop 
   from which you never escape.
2) A resource deadlock/block - eg calling an external program 
   that doesn't return or accessing a remote computer thats 
   not responding

> it.  What's going wrong with it?

Apart from guessing we can't tell till we see some code....
You could ty putting print statements in each function so that 
you see where it gets to before 'freezing'...
