Comment (by sluicebox):

 I can't reproduce this. I tried the CD version in DOS and Windows modes
 and all speech/text modes and bug hunted the script.

 @MarioKartFan's other bug reports have been on 3DS so maybe this can only
 happen on exotic platforms. If anyone can test this on 3DS that would be
 great. Looking at the script though, I can't see any opportunity for the
 kind of lockup being described. It's a simple hands-off scene with no
 other scripts running concurrently. There is a sound effect that the
 script waits on, and those can be point of failures, so maybe something
 platform-specific went wrong during playback to prevent it from
 completing. Still, I doubt that, because the same thing happens when
 correctly solving this puzzle by throwing a brick, and this bug report is
 just about a death-sequence and not "the game can't be completed".

 I'll leave this open a while longer in case @MarioKartFan returns, but
 without more information I'll eventually close it. I would like to know:

 1. What platform?
 2. Is KQ6CD in DOS or Windows mode?
 3. Speech, Text, or Speech+Text mode?
 4. What is the last message displayed before lockup?
 5. Does this happen every time the skull is thrown?
 6. Does throwing the brick lockup?
 7. Screenshot of the lockup

 To test this scene with the debugger:
