What is the definition of CN?  Are the elements of this list all 
determined?  Because if not, the modulo operator blocks.  It might 
explain why the code blocks.

Why don't you write something like

	BB = ({Nth CN 1} == 10)

Hint: one way to avoid the blocking issue is to evaluate the 'if' 
statement in a separate thread...
