Have you tried attaching to the running process with gdb (and/or strace)?
In gdb, you'd do this with:
gdb PROGRAM -p PID
if you single-step or do some manual IP sampling, it should at least
give you some idea where it's spinning and from there, you might get
some ideas where to look next.
Does the problem occur _only_ on Merced machines or McKinley/Madison, too?
