Sounds like a deadlock.

Start to run ``ps'' in ddb. Look for processes that are sleeping.  Try also
``trace'' in ddb if you happen to be in the context that dead-locked.

Make it dump core.

Run ps on the core-file (ps -M core-file)

Try to convince gdb to use the core-file and debug it, try to 
attatch to the process (proc) and see if you can get a backtrace
(dunno if you can do this on corefile)

This might help you a bit.
