Simple Skill script made Allegro frozen

JGONG

Hi, I got a very strange issue: my skill script made the Allegro "busy" and frozen. Please refer to the attached picture:

 When I typed in the function name "sp",  the script seems not even started, because it didn't print the "start:" at line 5.  If I click on "X" on up-right corner of Allegro editor windows to close it, Win7 would pop "Application is not responding..." message. 

Any help or clue would be appreciated.   Thanks in advance.

BTW:

 I am thinking whether SKILL has certain limitations that not publish and easy trap a new skill programmer. ex, a string length may have maxim limit, maximum total script length, function length? etc.  Does any one know which document has this information?

     Thank you for your suggestion. I finally found the issue was caused by a infinite loop.axlMSGPut() is great.
