Hi Bob!

1. What happens if you split the command and do '$ROOTCMD' first and then, inside the environment 
   it creates, run 'cf-agent...'?
2. Or can you try running the whole thing with 'strace -ff' so that maybe you can see where it got 
   stuck?
3. Another alternative is to kill the process with 'Ctrl+\' (or send it the SIGABRT signal) which 
   should create a core dump that you can then analyze with a debugger.

I hope one of the above options sheds more light on this.
