not that I can think of off hand. I don't think we include a sane
package, so you are grabbing one from the sane people?

well, you can try and figure out where it's locking up...
try doing  an:

and it will spew out all the system calls the application makes, then
see where it's left when it locks up...

You could get the sane src.rpm from redhat 7 and recompile that and
see if it has any better luck.
