I assume you have read http://phix.x10.mx/docs/html/debugging.htm
The "DEV (ctrace.out not yet supported)" comment should have been deleted some time ago.
with profile[_time] won't do anything until the program terminates successfully.
with trace by itself won't do anything; you need a trace(1) to start an interactive trace or trace(3) to start writing ctrace.out.
From the sound of things I'd recommend the latter, after <ctrl c> to kill the runaway app you should be able to inspect ctrace.out
to figure out what it was up to. You can also do things like this:
without trace include pGUI.e include builtins\VM\pcfunc.e with trace
so that lines from those files are omitted from the ctrace.out file. Repeat that sort of thing (for any code, not just includes) a few times until you get a clear picture of where it is going loopy.
