(1) should be fixed by this patch.  I'll try to reproduce (2) and come back.

You can also try "kill -USR1 <pid>" on the gst process to see *where* it 
freezes.

I'm interested in hearing from people who have a x86-64 linux machine. 
Does it run "make check" (possibly with a failure in 
DhbNumericalMethodws) or does it halt before?  My machine halts before, 
but the failure is so weird (a call to ftruncate mysteriously zeros some 
memory, or something like that) that I wonder if it is a kernel bug of 
some sort.
