Comparing tcptraceroute and traceroute might be useful.  A tcpdump of
a hanging session might be useful too.

What you describe sound slighly similar to the problem we experienced
at a gathering, where some transparent firewall (Firewall 1, if I do
not remember incorrectly), were unable to parse HTTP headers with unix
line endings and simply refused to handle such HTTP connections.

Happy hacking,
