The culprit must be the "emacs 23 cocoa on Snow Leopard" part.
It works fine (in the sense that "it does not lead to emacs crashes") on
Linux:
Org-mode version 6.32 (release_6.32.8.g9077)
GNU Emacs 23.1.50.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.12.9) of 2009-10-13 on gamaville.dokosmarshall.org
I don't clock much (maybe one of these years, when I find the time...
the usual excuse of the procrastinator :-), so I'm not sure how things
are supposed to work. I tried to clock in a task from the agenda (using
I), I get a "dangling clock" message, I select cancel and everything is
fine. I then clock out and the clock gets updated appropriately. I then
clock in again and get another dangling clock warning (with ~120000 mins
on it). After doing it a few times on a couple of different items, I
don't get the dangling messages any more either. I guess all the clocks I had
started way back when, when I was playing with clocks, and had not closed,
were found, dealt with, and now I'm all set - maybe.
If anything is really wrong, I'm sure we'll get an earful when Bernt
(aka the king of clocking) upgrades !-)
As for turning things off, the following two (excerpted from org-clock.el)
might help (untested):
,----
| ...
| (defcustom org-clock-idle-time nil
| "When non-nil, resolve open clocks if the user is idle more than X minutes."
| :group 'org-clock
| :type '(choice
| (const :tag "Never" nil)
| (integer :tag "After N minutes")))
|
| (defcustom org-clock-auto-clock-resolution 'when-no-clock-is-running
| "When to automatically resolve open clocks found in Org buffers."
| :group 'org-clock
| :type '(choice
| (const :tag "Never" nil)
| (const :tag "Always" t)
| (const :tag "When no clock is running" when-no-clock-is-running)))
| ...

HTH,
