Description
While erasing a 100MB file, it will not continue to run other windows apps. I think the loop is to tight and you are not allowing the windows system to process msgs.
Try erasing a 100MB file and starting another app like IE8
It will error out.

It doesn't matter that the loop is tight since the erasure continues in a background thread. What's the more likely scenario is data starvation from your hard drive as Eraser does place a lot of stress on the system hard drive.
