It is a follow call of a -l. But that -l don't hang. It, like every
command here, ends with a delay. The delay is introduced at the end of
the output, prior to getting the shell prompt back. Or close to the event
of getting the shell prompt back. Sometimes, the command ends as planned,
other than having a delay. And sometimes, it ends with the suggestion to
run with --debug. And, at least for a -l command, explicitly mentions some
error. Someting about a timeout, if I remember correctly. Unfortunately,
as of this writing, it doesn't end with the --debug message. I am using
the -l command a lot. Because after a -l, a command for a -n and a command
for -p range, I hardly use gphoto. So if the -l command is not working,
I don't procceed to the -n and -p commands.

I don't know what happend, but as of this writing the first call, just a 
gphoto2 -l, seems to end as expected. With some delay, but without debug.
If that is worth something, the last few lines of that -l command
are, breaking the long Loading paragraph into smaller lines,

An old, from 2008, Fujifilm A850. Taken from line 301 of the trace,
idVendor ID 04cb, idProduct 01e7. The last lines of the storage-info command are

    [Storage 0]     
    label=000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
    description=External Memory
    basedir=/store_00010001
    access=2 Read-only with delete
    type=4 Removable RAM
    fstype=4 Camera layout (DCIM)
    totalcapacity=1948320 KB

Maybe there is a problem with the 1948320 KB memory device.
