 I cannot reproduce this. When the process is hanging, does it loop
 (using all available CPU), or is it sleeping (and if it is, in which
 state)? Can you please also try pressing ^T? This should make the
 process generate a state dump in /tmp/uthread.dump.<pid>.<serial>,
 which should be interesting.
