If so, paste a couple of lines from it here.

I have had similar (or the same) problem recently and was able to track
it down to the ~/.gvfs directory. After I was able to delete the .gvfs
directory, my problem went away. The ~/.gvfs directory has recreated
itself and I still see the hang but the hang is not every time.
Unfortunately, I forget exactly what I did to remove the ~/.gvfs; I
think I ended up uninstalling gvfs, deleted the directory and
reinstalled gvfs.<br>
<br>
To find the problem directory, I opened up a command window and
performed variations on "ls a*". All "ls" commands that did not
include .gvfs completed fine while those that did hung.<br>
