    gsuryagandh:

    I'd check that file deletion on the shared drive at line 42. I think another process has it open.

    If it's not that, maybe you have a deadlock where your script took a long time to run, and another instance is working on the same item.

    Those are my guesses.

    Without code, all we can do is guess.

    I am using windows 2k8 machine. When this script hangs, i am not able to get out of it. Ctrl + C does not work, killing task from task manager also does not work.

    .... that is to allow time for the government's secret backend ajax programs to start working copying out your filesystem.... oops, sorry, I'm just a bit pararnoid today. :-)

    I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth.

    Maybe you have a memory leak somewhere in your code.

    roboticus. I love the answer of 42. Now to find the question.
