Yes it might be...I was using what I thought was an always-on instrument 
(duration of -1), but I think this just holds the note until something 
overflows.
I fixed it by changing the duration of the dummy note from -1 to a huge 
number less than 2^31 - 1, since apparently a csound score can't last 
more than that many beats since it's counting with a 32-bit signed 
number. That gives about 68 years...
Maybe also changing the tempo could give longer times since the beats 
default to 1 second but could be longer.
