Thanks!  To recap:

 3.1.8-2 works fine
 3.2.1-1 hung at "Loading, please wait..." once, worked fine twice
 3.2.23-1 reliably hangs (though not always right away)

Could you try 3.2~rc4-1~experimental.1, to narrow down the range a
little?  (If it doesn't hang, that would be great, but I suspect it
will hang, too.)
