  Most lockups/hangs are in fact caused by infinite loops.  And gdb or other 
debuggers won't catch those, as the program is still running.

  However, if running under GDB, you can still often get useful informaton.  In 
the gdb session, hit control-c - this should interrupt the client process and 
get you the gdb prompt.  Then type 'where' and get the stack trace.

  Gather a few of these up and send them along.  If they point to the same 
function, that function can be reviewed, and its possible the bug discovered 
just by visual inspection.
