I would definitely appreciate it.

Do you have any code you'd be willing to share?

I'm somewhat convinced that it's a problem with what I've written, so I
would not be surprised if others aren't having this problem, but, well,
I'm having this problem and I can't seem to figure out what the deal is.
I'm especially concerned that the behaviour is a bit weird -- just
hanging, instead of throwing an actual error -- as that makes it more
likely I'm doing something wrong.

Thanks,
Luke
