Check for shop orders which have been given a due date of 99/99/99 this
forces a search in ECL for order lines for BOM components with 99/99/99
as the request date. The routine that does this is badly error trapped
and does not terminate when none are found. this problem is replicable
in 6.0.04 March cum. 

Use work with jobs and look at the call stack and the file I/O data.
When the program is looping you should be able to identify the statement
numbers that are looping and the relative record numbers in the open
files where it sticks. Mail these to me and I will compare it to my
notes from the problems at our client.
