Depends on what 'that' is :-}

I do have a .pac file for http usage.  Don't know about the javascript  
part.  TLU normally works w/o complaint, though.  After the hang (and  
a lapse of about 30 minutes) I tried again, and TLU started up w/o  
problems.

No errors were reported, AFAIK (it hung early on, before a window was  
up with which to view a log).

Does this help?
