problem with windows version, not the mac version.
I am seing strange behavior after programmatic pauses (@pause)
on the first extruding move, after i continue to print, it absolutely gushes plastic, perhaps ten times more then it needs too.
the resulting blob can easily ruin a print
has anyone seen this?, has anyone overcome it?

... Yes, it can happen. That is why I would suggest to make the pause not over your print or to ensure (if for instance you use the pause to change filament) that you extrude a bit first to relieve the pressure and do that on a scraper that you hold under the hot end.
There is a few reason that can cause this and LambdaFF touched on one of the most common ones. In the past I have had this problem but adding a new script into your printer settings seemed to help me.
Printer settings --> Script --> Script 1 (rename to something like "Run On Pause" --> Insert below Gcode --> Apply
G91 ; set relative positioning
G1 E-2 F1800 ; retract filament slightly to avoid drips
G1 Z20 ; move extruder up 10mm
G90 ; return to absolute positioning
Hope this helped.
