Installed WhatIsHang... a program that runs in the background and detects a program when it hangs, supposedly giving info about the cause. Will try that now....
Great! That .dmp file can be read by windbg and VS debugger tools on Windows. I think there is also a minidump library for python.

I will pm you with my private home e-mail address. Please zip up that .dmp file and e-mail it to me. I will fire up my Windows 7 VM and try to debug the dmp file.

Alternatively, if you would prefer, we could start just with a backtrace from that .dmp file if you have WinDbg handy or the VS 2015 tools.

Thanks
