Dave,

That will be fine.  There's not much that I can do at this moment
other than to check to see if a process is hung and try to get it
going again (by attaching to is using "gdb").  Your problem also
occurs on our in-house Mac OS x 10.5.2 system and I've submitted
a formal bug-report to Apple.  Hopefully, they'll be able to log
onto our system to see the problem for themselves.

I'll keep you apprised.
