Ah, this sounds suspiciosly like the old date set ahead problem. Possibly
you've set your clock ahead recently. Opus hasn't actually hung, it's just
sitting there in a tight loop counting seconds ... for hours.
You need to delete the magic file which may be either or both of COMMON.DAT
(if you have one) and/or SCHED.DAT <-- where your events are stored so watch
out!
