Just so this gets to the mailing list archives:  I think I've tracked
this down to a problem with calling closelog(), a non-threadsafe libc
routine, after fork().  I've added more backtraces and a detailed
explanation to the bug report here:

        http://bugs.bacula.org/view.php?id=1536

I can work around this by disabling the syslog directive in the
Messages stanza of bacula-sd.conf:

        Messages {
          Name = Standard
          director = agnatha-dir = all
          syslog = all, !skipped
        }

With that "syslog = all" line commented out, the problem goes away;
with it enabled, I can reproduce the hang fairly regularly.

Thanks, and please let me know if you have any questions.
