When it happens again, try finding the exact process which is hanging
at the moment ( best is with htop in tree mode ), then attach to it
with gdb and run 'thread apply all bt' - I bet all threads (bar one)
are waiting... When you quit gdb, the process magically continues...

That has been happening with my builds, mainly when I do
'pkg_rolling-replace', all the time the last several months, I am sure
you can find the mail archives. i still don't know if it is only a
problem with the entropy or something with the thread processing. In
my case it happens most often when running cmake and rebuilding some
kde packages, but this happens elsewhere as well.
