Okay, so did you  mean that it was "frozen"?  I wondered if you meant 
that some command or activity was running then repeating. But you 
mean, perhaps, that it was "frozen" (unresponsive) and you assumed it 
was because some process was looping?  (and I imagine that probably 
was why - I haven't seen a verified explanation of why we get SPOD. 
Is that what you had? A spinning colored ball when you selected iCal?
