Thanks Kjell for your attention to this issue. I understand why you are going to close it.
Let me just reiterate that, when the localdef process was spinning away, it appeared that it was waiting on a zombied gzip process. I'm making that assumption based on my observing that every time localdef would 'freeze', ps showed a zombied gzip process immediately below the localdef process. I hope that is helpful.
