Summary: Battle Hangs When Trying to Carry Attack (Safari w/ Java 7)

Initial Comment:
Battle hangs when carrying over damage. The controls (e.g. concede battle) appear active but have no effect. Was working correctly before i upgraded to java 7.

Message:
Thanks -- this is the current build. I redownloaded to make sure. No Citrix
or anything fancy. Plenty of RAM, although the game has started chewing
300-500 MB of RAM after the Java update. I'll report back on the "weird"
non-carry hangs as they happen. One thing: every start generates two
errors, a Socket Initialization Failed and a dummy An Error Occurred.
They're non-fatal, so I've just been clicking through.

Message:

And I suppose both of you are using the latest official released build,
i.e. 0.13.2 ?

The public test build is known to have some "hanging" bug related to
conceding. (That's why there's still no new release yet).

Bombasticus. thanks for contributing here instead of creating a new one!

Message:
Looks like it's the event dispatcher thread (the one which "listens" for
mouse clicks and keyboard, and does the drawing) ran into a deadlock.

There's another bug report which claims it works with 1.6.0_36 but hangs
with 1.6.0_37, and yet another from Mac with 1.7.0_13 which says it hangs
and there would be messages on stdout, but I suspect the messages are
unrelated (seem to be common known issue with certain Java versions on
certain MacOS versions.

Question: 
Is there something special on that machine, like Citrix installed or so? 

There was a bug while ago where due to citrix a 2nd (security related
EDTrelated thread) was running and those two interfered (caused each other
deadlock).

Can you go back to 1.6.0 so that you can play at least? (install 1.6.0
additionally and make Colossus run using that java) ?

Message:
Hi there -- definitely the carry. Doesn't happen all the time and the
battles are hanging at other points (end of some battles, when clearing a
dead creature other times) but this is probably the top source of my
post-upgrade hangs. The good news is that the masterboard seems fine.
Thanks as always for supporting this.
