Hi David,

Strange; if you could send me the error message the mail server gave
(off list) I can check to see if there's something funny with it.

Well, this is strange as blue does not call csound using the API, only
executes the program.  The exit behavior for running csound5 with blue
should be exactly the same as if running csound5 from the commandline,
in that blue is waiting for csound5 to return from it's execution
before stopping.  If you generate a CSD to disk and run csound5 on the
CSD from the commandline, do you also get a hang at the end of
processing or does it return you to the prompt?

Ah, okay, I think you use it pretty much as I do, which is to listen
in realtime while working, but ultimately rendering to disk in the
end.  There's no reason why it should work on OSX.  I haven't tested
with OSX in quite some time, and I probably won't be able to for at
least a week as I'm still on jury duty this week and won't be
accessing my OSX computer at work until next week, but I've written a
note to take a look at it when I get back into the office.
