That likely means that the pid file for the process you are about to start exists in /var/run/ but it is unreadable. You should be running as root at that point, so that's odd, but maybe you have file system corruption or some other cruft there. I don't think should cause a hang, though. If you switch to a virtual console can you tell what process is hung and see what strace says it is waiting for?
I know what strace does, but where should I use it?
