I still consider the spinning wheel to be the "program might have

When I see an app that is unresponsive for so long that the system
puts up that "scrod", I think of it as indicating that the developers
of that app never expected that this operation could take so long
(otherwise they would have implemented a proper progress indicator,
or used a worker-thread).
It's like: "Oops, sorry ... experiencing technical difficulties. Do
not adjust your set".
And if the developers didn't foresee that this delay might happen,
who knows what else they might not have thought about - hence leading
to thoughts like "program might have crashed".
