What version of Visual Studio are you using?  If it is MSVC 6, please 
make sure you have the latest service pack (at least 5 or later). 
Unfortunately I do not know of any way to tell if a particular pack has 
been installed.

Anyway, when CMake stops running, is it using any CPU or does it just 
sit there?
