Unity Editor keeps pausing

When I hit the play button in the editor, the pause button next to it activates after a second. If I try to unpause, it just repauses a frame later.

I’m pretty sure I screwed up some local setting, because I created an identical setup on a different machine, and the problem isn’t there. I have tried deleting all my project files and regetting from SVN, and even reinstalling unity, but to no avail.

I have a weird suspicion it is related to threading…

Help!

at the top of the ‘console’ window, there is a button called Pause on error.
I believe that is the only switch you can have messed with that makes the Editor pause automaticly without a direct script to the editor.
