Versions of vpnc, NetworkManager and distro?

vpnc does not support re-keying. Depending on the re-keying interval of
the VPN gateway this may be the problem.

Maybe same as above. In either case (if it's rekeying or not) I would
think that these two problem are in fact the same.

Have you tried to run NetworkManager on the console with the --no-daemon
option (this time I got it right :-) ) to see if there is any output
before it hangs? Can you still login via SSH from outside the machine
(that worked for me for a couple of hangs caused by the applet which
have been solved) and kill NM/applet?
