Not responding - 17.0.1.0 for Mac

[Darren]

Had this happen a few times on the 2011 vs of SE for Mac (OS 10.7.4).  But now it has happened on the new version.

This time the scenario was:  Had files opened across a network share.
disconnected the laptop from the network.
resumed the laptop.
SE stopped responding (spinning pinwheel). 
tried to Force Quit from Activity Monitor but it can't kill it.

The only  way out of this is to reboot the Mac. 

Doesn't happen every time, but when it does it is really annoying since I have to reboot.

Anyone else observed this?

Found that this was related to a network drive mount issue and it looks like this works best with a "soft" drive mount. 
(From Apple:
soft     ...   Make the mount soft.  Fail file system calls after a number of seconds.)

Another option is using a nsmb.conf with the lines:
[default]
soft=yes


Thanks for your help with this, Darren!
