After rendering any model (F5 or F6) any attempt to rotate or translate the viewport (using the mouse) causes the application to freeze. It also causes Windows to become completely unresponsive to everything but CTRL + ALT + DELETE, which curiously brings OpenSCAD back to life and allows it to move the viewport. However, the problem occurs again as soon as the viewport is moved. Sometimes only Task Manager can save you from having to do a hard reset.

I'm using Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit Service Pack 1. I understand (from my Google searches) that other Windows users have experienced similar problems.
