HUDNowTime (not responding)

Never seen this one before:-
 

 
Project has a single instance of Reaktor with the Metaphysical Function ensemble loaded. Nothing else. No effects. Just the synth tracks (audio and MIDI) and the master buss.
 
I had just armed the audio track for record and then pressed the record button.
 
Problem reporter did not show.
 
I had to unplug my OCTA-CAPTURE to release the SONARPLT.exe
 
A second SONAR program icon appeared in my task bar title HUDNowTime and if I hovered the mouse over the icon the Now Time marker appeared.

When SONAR starts to fail, I have seen the Now Time marker appear detached from SONAR. I do not recall ever looking at the Task Manager because I would usually "X" out of SONAR.

Hi Steve,
 
I sometimes look at task manager to see of other stuff could be going on and hogging the CPU.
 
Sometimes, SONAR can be reported as using 20% CPU, so I wait a bit before forcing SONAR closed. Sometimes I wait a few minutes to see if SONAR calms down a bit and starts responding again, although it's rare that it does.
 
And when you say "detached," I think I know what you mean in that the Now Time marker graphic looks a bit odd. In the case above though, it was so detached that it was in its own window...
 
cheers
