1. Get a process-table list every minute or so via cron. It might show
something else running or trying to run when you have your lockups.
Try "ps -axw -o user,pid,ppid,pgid,tt,start,time,command".
2. Get the PID of the bash session, and run something like this as root:
pid=12345
k=1
while true; do
truss -p $pid 2>&1 | head -1000 > /dir-with-lots-of-space/$k
k=`expr $k + 1`
done
This should break the truss output into 1000-line chunks and let you
clean out the directory before it chews up all your space. Hopefully
one of the truss files will show something useful after a lockup.
