Can you get a backtrace on the gpilotd process?

Try:
gdb /path/to/gpilotd process-id
where process-id is the process id of the gpilotd process.
Then, at the gdb prompt, execute 'bt', to see where the process
is hung.

Sounds quite possible that this is related to the memo-file conduit problem,
see my recent messages on that thread.  Nathan Owens mentioned that
the EAddress conduit uses some code that was implicated in the memo-file
problems.  If your process is hung in g_closure related code, that's
probably your problem.
