where is it getting stuck? that is, look at the recon-all.log (and recon-all.cmd file). often times recon-all gets stuck in the topology fixer, because of some horrible wm.mgz file, which itself could be due to other problems. also, i assume the first thing performed before starting recon-all was to open the dicom in tkmedit (tkmedit -f name-of-first-slice.dcm) and check if it 'looks good' (that is, looks like all the other good images that you have processed).
