As I recall.... And it's been a few years.

The SceneRecorder was done for an application 
where a specific structure is expected of the X3D 
file. In particular, it expects a TimeSensor with 
a known DEF name that will drive an animation.

Not good that it hangs, but I would have expected 
some sort of error message to get logged.

Also as I recall, most of the replica instances 
use the BlockingWorldLoader, which waits till the 
loading queue is clear before letting the app 
continue.
