Interesting.  At the time of the hang, can you still establish
another connection to the box?  I'm guessing this is similar to
what I'm seeing on recent current.  I think the problem appeared
some time between (UTC+0200):

drwxr-xr-x  2 root  wheel   23552 Sep 19 11:38 kernel
drwxr-xr-x  2 root  wheel   23552 Sep 12 08:10 kernel.old

Some of my connections hang, but others still function and I can
make new connections.

Sorry, that this is just a "me too".
