I built a debug version of digikam and started it from gdb (which isn't 
crashing on my 7.0 system :-) ).

When digikam hung this is the stack trace:

It seems that the problem maybe connected with fam. digikam seems to use 
gamin by default (at least that's what the packages are built with) but 
I have this in /etc/make.conf:

WITH_FAM_SYSTEM=fam

so fam is used instead. Could this be where the problem is?

Thanks for your help.
