 Open the "alaska" shapefile from the qgis sample dataset. Set the project
 CRS as the one of the vector and try create a random point layer with the
 appropriate tool in the vector menu. Choose "1000" as the number of points
 to draw.

 The tool slowly arrives at 47% then seems to stop. I waited a few minutes
 and nothing changed. I don't know if it is a real freeze but on the user
 end is like one.

 Tested on trunk on both windows xp and ubuntu 9.10.
