There are many possible explanations. The most likely fix is to
download the latest bleeding edge upgrade (1.99q12) and install that.
It fixes several problems that could cause your machine to hang like
that.
If you find that even q12 hangs also, try:
executor -desperate
[Note that "executor -desperate" is not available with plain 1.99q.]
Good luck, and please let me know what you discover!
