Actually, installing the full snapshot is overkill for tracking down
this type of problem.  It doesn't hurt, but just installing the DLL
should be adequate.

Let's just focus on the present snapshot and the problem that you are
reporting please.  It isn't at all useful for you to recapitulate past
(fixed!) problems in old snapshots.

You've mentioned that the first failing snapshot was 2006-03-13 so I'm
working under the impression that your report was accurate.

Neither Corinna nor I have been able to duplicate this hang.

So, I'm throwing this out to the rest of the mailing list.  The failing
script is not hard to run, so I'd appreciate knowing if it hangs for
anyone else.
