i just encountered this behaviour too: pd doesn't really hang or get in 
a bad state, it is just tcl that waits for the bracket to be closed.

create an object-box and type "{"
type some characters (nothing will be displayed)
type "}"

if you do several "{"s, then you will have to close all of them before 
you get back to "responding"

would be good, if that could be fixed...
