For some quick diagnostics maybe you could try running it with strace,
or attaching strace to the running process to see if it's stuck on a
system call or if it's some kind of deadlock or livelock or other
concurrency related fun.
Actually... I thiiink I've experienced a hang like this on my i686
machine, but aborting it and running pull again fixed it.
Does it happen always?
