Hello Thomas, I will keep trying to find the commit that introduced this behavior. The bisect I ran this morning yielded a commit that only changes ARM code which does not make sense since I ran the bisect on an x86 system. I guess that means that during one of the bisect steps I did not wait long enough to see whether or not the hang occurs and hence that I provided incorrect input to the bisect process. Bart.
