The things cores always. The hang is really not a hang. It just looks so. We've already seen reports in which, due to some memory/system shortage (or yet unknown reason) the beast simply dies. I could point you to look at the top and observe the amount of memory available (core + swap) in the moment it dies, but we've done that already and it brought us nowhere :( It is a difficult issue...
