It may have no impact at all, but I found using "pausing" with the
loadfile command (whose flow is similar to loadlist) to be problematic
(e.g., not always end up paused) a small percentage of the time. This
was with fairly recent SVN releases (definitely not 1.0rc2).
I've had limited time to try to track it down but instead switched to
using a slave command string such as:
loadfile <file>\npause\n
(sent as a single I/O to minimize delay between parsing the two commands)
which has been robust for me.
I mention it only since sending the extra pause command seems to
affect the behavior you're getting, so perhaps using it all the time
would at least be a workaround. Either that or maybe it'll just make
it consistently crash all the time which at least helps with
reproducing the problem while troubleshooting.
