Well, 'latest'  might be a relative notion, at the rate I am making
commits. Which version exactly was this?

Did you have the (new) Move List window open? During the blitz tourney
last Saturday I had a version that froze every time I started observing a
game while the Move List was not empty. I debugged and fixed that during
the tourney, though.

This sounds a bit like it could be the same thing. I just tried to observe
two games at FICS simultaneously with my latest version (from the aliennew
branch, which I rebased on top of hgmaster). But I am pretty sure there is
nothing extra in that branch that has anything to do with the MoveList
window, so I guess hgmaster's commits of today should work as well.
