Typically, a program hangs when it is waiting for some kind of
resource. This might be a system resource (allocating memory,
reading/writing a file from/to disk, CPU ticks) or any other kind of
resource like user input or response from network socket etc.

Try this:

[loadbang]
|
[until]

(or rather: don't try this. It'll freeze Pd because it waits for
infinite number of CPU ticks).
