My bad.  I just realized that the program was not hung.  I was tailing 
the log file but the log had rotated.  Since I was not seeing any 
activity, I assumed... well you know the rest of the story. 

I have no idea what made it work (I'll just say worked longer for now) 
but it is behaving somewhat better than before.

Thanks for all the suggestions.

OT I was sorting through my old floppies over the weekend, and came 
across a pair of root/boot disks for kernel version 1.2.13-6, Debian 
0.93R6 dated 5 Nov 1995.  Wonder if they'll boot on anything?
