It probably was just hanging while blocking on sending a message to one of the task's message port. You can avoid that with -M or so (please check yourself), at the cost of reduced information. This can happen if one of the tasks is stuck. I think ps -A -F hurd is also giving you only information retrievable without the task's help.
