A hang may be a threading issue.  I suggest obtaining the latest release
(1.2.6) and seeing if it has similiar problems.  If it does, try building
it --without-threads and see if the problem goes a way or not.  You should
check your DB libraries are built properly for use with threaded
applications.  If you are using Berkeley DB, make sure you are using version
2.7.5.
