[md-dev] HomePageView

[Sean Reilly]

Hello,

Can you check the errlog.txt file in the ".moneydance" directory  
under your home directory?  Checking that file (when MD freezes)  
should provide some indication of what is going on since stderr is  
redirected to that file, overwriting it each time Moneydance is run.

If you are using Windows this will probably be something like c: 
\Documents and Settings\<username>\.moneydance\errlog.txt.  On other  
systems you can just go to ~/.moneydance/errlog.txt.

Thanks,
Sean
