If you are knowledgable in the ways of debugging.. When blackbox starts chewing up that 100% of cpu, attach a strace, or beter, gdb, to the process. in gdb, hit ^c and 'bt', or sstrace will just start printing things. This would help find where the hell its blocking in the code. xOr -- I am damn unsatisfied to be killed in this way.
