However I am left feeling that my IDE which works fine most of the time, has a blind-spot ...

I installed a trial copy of Komodo and started it. Even before I loaded any files, it was already running 32 kernel threads to just sit there doing nothing.

And whilst I cannot be certain, it looks like at least one of those threads and possibly more could be a Java "green threads" scheduler.

I loaded a (single) perl file and that increased to 43 threads.

Then I took a look at the dll's it loads:

<Reveal this spoiler or all in this thread>

C-runtime. C++ Runtime, Python runtime, Java-runtime, perl development kit, XUL, OLE, .NET, Active Directory, ActiveX, LDAP; audio drivers, Multimedia drivers, Internet Explorer runtime, 3 different graphics frameworks, 3 different encryption libraries, Remote access dialer, Remote procedure calls; DNS, DHCP, every sockets library known to man; sqlite, MSSQL; ???

Good grief. Are they trying to compete with EMACS in the operating-system-disguised-as-an-editor Olympiad?

Frankly, I don't know whether to condemn the authors or just stand with my mouth open and slow hand-clap them in sheer amazement.

Anyway, glad you solved your problem :)

The start of some sanity?
