In my case the source of the problem was quite strange. I have installed a piece of software that recommended sourcing its configuration script in /etc/profile. Unfortunately I have typed the path incorrectly without noticing it. Next attempt to login after this modification hung on 'Logging in...' message, as described in earlier posts. After logging in via console I have noticed bash complaining about incorrect path, so I have corrected typing mistake in /etc/profile. Next login was OK. So it looks like in my case it was timing issue due to error in profile.
