State: open

1. Start a new game. Skip the cutscenes.
2. Press 'i' to open the inventory.
3. Press enter to select the scythe.

Observed: the game hangs. The main window turns white'ish, as it does on Windows 7 when an application does not respond, and the window title receives a (Not Responding) text. See http://dl.dropbox.com/u/40949268/residual.png
This is using software renderer (hardware renderer is not working due to this issue: https://github.com/residual/residual/issues/330

This hang occurs every time (tested about 10 times). Also if you pick up the note or the deck of cards, and try to choose those items instead of the scythe, the game hangs.
In the main office view residual is consuming about 40% of one thread, but when the hang occurs, CPU consumption goes to 100% for one thread.

While the game is hung, the music keeps on playing normally.

Windows 7 Pro 64-bit laptop with an Intel Integrated GPU. Grim Fandango has the 1.01 patch applied.
