Not without more info, but it's always instructive to look at what they're doing:
use the system-call trace utility, that's what it's for.  (truss, ktrace, strace)

Probably not, but try to be nice with signals, and go check ~mailman/locks to make
sure they didn't leave one around (which might be why the others are hanging).
