This has happened to me a few times. When it does, the AVD seems to be permanently broken, or at least I have yet to figure out how to fix it. If you monitor logcat, it always freezes at the following point (assuming it's the same problem you're seeing):

This is inconvenient if you have lots of app data in the emulator, but it does work. Hopefully this problem is gone in the 1.6 SDK.
