I was able to replicate it in a qemu vm that containsd a copy of the disk of that server. When I start a gdb session at the time where it hangs, I get the output below - obviously. my gdb only sees 0's instead of the actual memory (so disassembles garbage), but ni seems to work and shows that it runs in a 5 insn loop. I hope this helps.
