Werner,

I sent the symbol privately, as I didn't know it'd be appropiate to put
in on the list...

Just to be clear: The 'hang' starts when the symbol is selected in the
component list, not when pasting it on the schematic.

Just for a second I thought it might have something to do with the new
search mechanism, but the previous version I had installed didn't have
the search yet and presented the same 'hang'.
