When the IDV freezes up can you do a Control-Break in the terminal window where 
the IDV is running.
This will dump out a stack trace that you can send to us.

About the only thing you can do is place one symbol with the drawing tool.
Then, from its File->Export Drawing  menu write out the shapes as an xgrf file. 
You could
then make copies of the image entries, changing the lat/lons which are defined 
with
the points="..." attribute.

From the File Chooser select a number of files using control-click or 
shift-click. This will load
the files as one data source which you can then create a multi-timestep display 
from.
