Except when (as in this case) the app had not stopped responding, it was
simply looping through a request dialogue due to a bug like so:

click cancel or window close widget
pop up window "are you sure?"
click "yes"
pop up window "are you sure?"
click "yes"
pop up window "are you sure?"
click "yes"
pop up window "are you sure?"
click "yes"
pop up window "are you sure?"
click "yes"
pop up window "are you sure?"
click "yes"
pop up window "are you sure?"
click "yes"
pop up window "are you sure?"
click "yes"
pop up window "are you sure?"
click "yes"
pop up window "are you sure?"
click "yes"
pop up window "are you sure?"
click "yes"
pop up window "are you sure?"
click "yes"
pop up window "are you sure?"
click "yes"
pop up window "are you sure?"
click "yes"
pop up window "are you sure?"
click "yes"
pop up window "are you sure?"
click "yes"
pop up window "are you sure?"
click "yes"
pop up window "are you sure?"
click "yes"
pop up window "are you sure?"
click "yes"
pop up window "are you sure?"
click "yes"
pop up window "are you sure?"
