It's a kernel issue.  It similarly breaks if you apply the Red Hat
kernel updates to 7.x.

It's currently only being built for Red Hat 8.0.  I'm not sure why it's
freezing.  I'm writing this mail using yesterday's snap (no snap today,
apparently).  Are you using our snaps, or a CVS build?  Do you get any
error messages when you run it from a terminal? Any stray processes
running that might be causing problems?
