qemu disk emulation isn't exactly speedy, and fossil probably bangs on
the disk pretty hard and from the sounds of things its treating the
disk access as synchronous (which is why everything else freezes up).
The two combined together is not something you want to deal with.
FWIW, on my system I don't see this problem, but its a 4 processor
3GHZ+ Xeon with 16GB of memory which is probably always hitting the
disk access in Linux's cache.
