I rewrote that section of code some time ago.  There is no possibility
of a hang from that situation anymore.  There used to be an unbounded
for loop, I believe.

If there is a problem it is probably unrelated and will require
debugging, via gdb, strace, or whatever.  (I'm not volunteering to look
at an strace, btw)

I don't have Rational Clearcase, so I really can't help here.
