yeah, right - blame it all on Microsoft!
try ctrl-F6 (or Shell / Restart Shell from the menu) in IDLE, which
stops programs from infinite looping

Big help guys, thanks. There does seem to be a problem with Pythons
IDLE. If I run my oridgional program from a dos shell I can hit Ctrl-C
and free up the procesor, But running it in IDLE just locks up the
computer. Bad Windows. Thanks for the help with a more efficent
algorythm.

It locks up the operating system as well? Shame on Windows.
What happens if you type ctrl-C

Hmm. Ctrl-C gets me out just fine. In Idle, at least.

Using CPython or GMPY with a smarter algorithm in acceptable time you
can find that:
12345678987654 == 2 * 3 * 2057613164609
It's a very big number to factorize with that naive algorithm, so the
program hangs... (I have used an online factoring service).

If I un-comment any line in this program below the line where I

Windows task manager will show "Not Responding" for Python in the
Applications tab and in the Performance tabe the CPU usage will be
locked at %100.
