What makes OS X generate a hang report?

Does anyone know the criteria OS X uses to determine an application has hung? The reason I ask is that I've seen lots of inconsistencies. For example, OS X will kill a process and show the log if it hangs for 5 seconds, other times less than 1 second (is this even counted as a hang?) and sometimes the app hangs forever and I have to force-quit it myself.

Lion seems to be much more sensitive than previous versions and it will occasionally kill my app when doing simple things like loading a QuickTime movie into a QTMovieView, which has to be done on the main thread. (The hang report reports a hang of less than 1 second.)

Has anyone else seen this? Is this a bug I should report to Apple or am I doing something wrong?

Any light anyone can shed on this would be appreciated._______________________________________________
