Hanging when displaying routing table

[Neil Moore-Smith]

I have a strange symptom occurring. When I display the routing table using 
"netstat -r" it displays routes through the eth0 and loopback interfaces 
then sits there, without displaying the default route. I have to press 
ctrl-c to get the prompt back. If I delete the default route, the table 
displays OK, but of course, I lose the route.

I know I'm typing in the route add command correctly, and I can ping the 
interface used as the default route, so what's happening?
