Yes.

Here's one:

#25 0x00000000 in ?? ()

And the other doesn't seem to be so interesting:

#0  0xffffe410 in __kernel_vsyscall ()
#1  0xb7f157cb in poll () from /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6
#2  0x0806913b in write_sigio_thread (unused=0x0)
    at arch/um/os-Linux/sigio.c:61
#3  0xb7f1f51e in clone () from /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6

Strangely enough after continuing in gdb, UML is back to normal, and I
can't make it hang any more.  It must be something timing related.
