I took Lonni's advice.

Here are the last two log messages before the hang:

22.08:43 IINFO : switching from CD [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] to 1 for ('evince',
'i386', '0', '0.6.0', '3.fc6')

22:40:58 IFNO : switching from CD [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] to 2 for
('openoffice.org-impress', 'i386', '1', '2.0.4', '5.3)

Any ideas on what went wrong?
