One thing to do is start gnucash in a console and see if it outputs any
strange errors.

Another thing to do is to start gnucash under gdb, and interrupt it when
it appears hung; then, you can get a stack-trace to see what section of
the code is functioning when it is hung.

To do this, try:

% /usr/libexec/gnucash/overrides/gnucash/gnucash-env gdb /usr/bin/guile
[gdb output]
gdb> run -e main -s /usr/libexec/gnucash/overrides/gnucash --g-fatal-warnings

[If it doesn't come across correct, there should be 3 lines, above.]


Are you using scheduled transactions?
What version of gnucash are you using?
What operating system?
