I don't think that call can possibly be responsible for the hang; it 
does nothing but allocate a chunk of memory and write some values in 
to it.  It doesn't touch the network or anything.  Try running your 
application, letting it hang, and sampling it while it's hanging 
("sample <process name> 3" in Terminal); that will give you a better 
picture of where the code is stuck.
