In such cases I usually use gdb to get a better understanding where the
problem lies - in which function it hangs or if the program is running in
an endless loop.
It might not help a lot in your case but it's worth a try.
gdb /usr/sbin/pwconv
ctr-C
Then type in 'where' to see the function tree
Try that several times.
