If you can run gdb or the equivalent on the "hung" taper process, and send the backtrace, that would be helpful. You'll want to use the 'info threads' command in gdb to figure out what threads are active, and then the 'thread' command to switch to each one and the 'backtrace' command to generate a backtrace for it.
