Is there anything interesting in /var/log/syslog or any other relevant log
files? Try running BRLTTY with the "-l debug" option.

If that doesn't help, then it's down to building BRLTTY with debug symbols,
attaching to the process with gdb and obtaining back-traces, unless anyone
else has ideas.

I think this is a very unlikely cause; other daemons shouldn't be able to
interfere with BRLTTY.

My system is very up to date and there aren't any hangs of BRLTTY here.
