I did notice one pattern after stairing blindly at strace output for a 
while.  Every time it freezes, there is a:

    43 4628798 [sig] make 2064 setup_handler: signal 20 not delivered
    47 4628845 [sig] make 2064 sigpacket::process: returning 0

very near the end of strace output (last 10 lines).  And on every 
successful run that I've looked at, I see:

    43 6057447 [sig] make 3768 setup_handler: signal 20 delivered
    41 6057488 [sig] make 3768 sigpacket::process: returning 1

in the last 150 lines of stace output.

What is signal 20 anyway?

I see it get 'not delivered' in the success runs too, but never so close 
to the end (1000's of lines up from the end).
