Mathematica refuses to evaluate?

I'm getting an odd problem under both Mathematica 4.1 and 5.0 -- sometimes,
and it seems pretty random, when I go to evaluate a notebook cell,
Mathematica will just "refuse" to evaluate it.  There will be no output, no
error message, nothing -- shift-enter and zero response.  Not even the first
line of that particular section gets evaluated (even if its something as
simple as Print["Please work"];

As I said, this behavior is pretty random, and reboots, restarts of
Mathematica, etc do not seem to take care of it.  Any suggestions?
