This bug (if it is one) has already been reported on bugs.gentoo.org
(<http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5636>). I've ran into the same
troubles. Waiting for a long time doesn't help. The load of my system is
reduced to 0 while waiting and a strace doesn't show any more movement. So I
think it is obvious that the _process_ stops, not only the output.
