PeerBlock doesn't terminate; hangs while "deleting tray icons"

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Problem reported in our forums: (http://forums.peerblock.com/read.php?3,2389).

User attempts to exit PeerBlock, it looks like it has but is still resident
in memory and Windows shutdown later complains about it.

I have the same problem, PB just hangs their with no indication it is still 
running, 
this is a problem on safe sites, not allowing them to open. The only way is to 
restart your comp, then you get the error message, PB will not shut down. This 
is a 
real pain if you have to restart your comp to use the web for safe sites.

I'm sorry to hear that you've hit this too.  

While we still haven't made any progress on this one, I think you should be 
able to
workaround it by going into the Task Manager (Ctrl+Shift+Escape, or right-click 
on
taskbar then select Task Manager, or Ctrl+Alt+Delete then select Task Manager),
finding peerblock.exe in the Processes tab, then right-clicking on it and 
selecting
"End Process Tree".  This should at least force it to close so that you can 
have a
chance at restarting it (and then either Allowing HTTP or else getting it to 
exit
"for real").

Could those of you who are able to reproduce this bug please try running this 
test
version?

http://update.peerblock.com/bugs/i152_js3j0/PeerBlock-Setup_v1.0+_r305.exe

This version has some additional tracelogging in it around this problem area, 
so if
you can reproduce the problem with it and upload your peerblock.log file that 
should
help us chase down the root cause of this problem.  This version has a bunch of 
new
stuff in it as compared to the most recent Beta Release, but nothing too
destabilizing I don't think.  It is built as a Beta Release though which means 
that
it will detect the next Beta Release once one is released.

Two weeks with no feedback about the latest additional-debug-information build I
posted, so at this point I'm going to assume that nobody's seeing this problem
anymore.  The additional debug info code is also in our most recent Beta 
Release, so
if anyone hits this problem in the future we can get that info.

Closing this bug for now, we can re-open it if someone reproduces it and is 
able to
get us the additional info we need to make progress.
