Seeing pretty much the same thing here, with CVS of Dec. 11 (ah, how I 
miss the days when I had time to upgrade to CVS every week!).  The 
whole process just seems to hang, and then I have to go in and kill -9 
mtd & all the subprocesses it spawned.  Nothing in the mtd.log of any 
interest...

I'll try and update to CVS this week and see if I still get this 
behavior.
