If a command freezes then you should be able to press ⌃C or ⌘. to 
kill it.

The use of OSX::PropertyList::load and to_plist should probably both 
throw an exception (as this is a binary ruby extension we have for 
1.8.7).

For 2.0 compatibility, it would be best to switch to a property list 
extension written 100% in ruby, it must however be able to also read 
binary property lists.
