Try running Balsa under gdb, and interrupt it when it's hung--the 
stack-trace should be helpful in tracking it down, especially if your 
libs are compiled with local symbols as well as globals (don't know how 
you achieve that, but it sometimes seems to happen with stuff you 
install by hand).

Good luck!
