Hi Paolo - I recently saw a message on the FLTK mailing list describing
a similar freeze using Fluid (another FLTK application).
The problem might thus be in FLTK, not in Gmsh per se. To test this
hypothesis, could you recompile Gmsh and link it with an older release
of FLTK (say e.g. FLTK 1.1.5 or FLTK 1.1.6)?
Let us know hoe it works out,
Christophe
