Can you do some basic debugging with this box? Try attaching to hung
process with 'gdb' and see what it is doing. Use the 'strace' program
to look at syscalls it is making. Use the ps command to see what state
the processes are in.
Further, if you are using the semaphore locking mechanism, check your
semaphores. Is one of them stuck on? Seems unlikely since you say you
can write to the session hash but you can't overwrite a variable ...?
