For me, ebase hangs upon starting up regardless of what applications are
running. I am using the runtime version. There is no disk thrashing,
but it looks like ebase or something it depends on is caught in a tight
loop, starving the rest of the system.
My problem may not be the same as A. Kalatiitananda's, of course.
