Here's another data point: 7.0 only hangs on Linux with DEBUG=
enabled. In that case, wxgui.py is blocked wait()ing for v.category to
terminate, and v.category is blocked write()ing to the pipe connected
to its stderr.

So it appears that something is making a blocking wait() call without
having checked that both stdout and stderr have been closed.
