Okay, that's not a 'freeze' (as I normally use that word), the machine is just
too busy to listen to you. (Like a boy who is busy playing a computer game won't
listen to his parents :)
The same thing happens to me whenever I compile firefox, for example, because
memory fills up at one point and the machine starts swapping to disk. When
the machine starts swapping to disk, I can't use the machine at all for about
five minutes until the swapping finally stops.
You could (for example) run "vmstat 1" in a second ssh session on the slow
machine to see if it runs out of memory during compilation.
