FreeBSD 5.1-Release freezes

[Robert Watson]

Just FYI, there are actually some "legitimate" situations in which
processes will appear to hang when using MAC.  For example, if you have
MLS or Biba turned on, and revocation support specifically enabled (not
the default), you can see interactive processes appear to hang when they
are interacting with a terminal that is not authorized to receive its
output.  For example, if you change the process labels so that they have
access to top secret data, but your terminal label is set so it is only
cleared for confidential data, the process can't write to the terminal. 

Given that you don't appear to have any policies loaded, that's presumably
not what is going on.
