What OS are you using? OpenBSD, for example, has problems with its pthreads
implementation.
What version of SpamAssassin are you using? I've heard reports of a bug in
SpamAssassin which cause it to get stuck in a loop. However, if this
happens, you should see messages like "ERR Filter timed out" in your log.

You probably want to rebuild it without debugging once the issue is
solved, because debugging slows it down a lot.
