Hello Thomas,

I will keep trying to find the commit that introduced this behavior. The
bisect I ran this morning yielded a commit that only changes ARM code which
does not make sense since I ran the bisect on an x86 system. I guess that
means that during one of the bisect steps I did not wait long enough to see
whether or not the hang occurs and hence that I provided incorrect input to
the bisect process.

Bart.
