[mohaa] mohaa process freezes

[luke at techfreak.org]

Thanks, Luca. Sounds like exactly what I'm experiencing. You
mentioned that you have tested on different machines. Is there any
chance you notice this behavior on RedHat enterprise? Im just
thinking that maybe if I reimage the server to RHE or Fedora this
might not occur?
