That dialog which popups is trying to report an error, unfortunately the
string is blank (yes, we need to be fixed that).  Dismissing the dialog
should stop the endless compiling.  The likely cause of this problem is that
the file we're trying to create/write to is locked, which probably means the
debug app is still running.
