Comment:

 Replying to [comment:8 Gravitas]:
 > Speaking as one programmer with 20 years of experience to other
 programmers with probably more experience than I, I suspect that this is
 some issue to do with a threading deadlock on startup. These can be
 notoriously tricky to track down.

 Yes, see comment:23:ticket:9531 for the likely issue. The start-up part is
 tracked in #10804. Thus, making this a duplicate of it.
