No, sorry, I confused your message with a different gbak problem.
The engine hanging is very odd. From what you say, it's probably
in a hard loop and that's something I'd like to understand better.
I'll be glad to help you debug the problem. What might make sense
is to get the server running under a debugger and let it get into
that state. The code around there should be very interesting as
will tracebacks.
