FWIW, we are also observing random freezes. I thought the problem was 
solved for us with the SVN version of omake, and indeed, I've not 
observed any freeze on my Vista machine for several months. However, my 
colleagues (who use XP) still get some freezes. Apparently, omake now 
hangs while copying some files (with the builtin cp command). Note that 
before the fix on the SVN, the freezes usually appeared when running 
ocamldep.
