By "hang" I mean unresponsive - the little progress bar in the 
report window status bar lower right shows something, typically 
goes about halfway across, then nothing further.  

CPU usage by GnuCash is at 99% if nothing else is needing much 
CPU; an hourglass shows when hovering mouse over any existing 
GnuCash window.

Nothing can be done in GnuCash, except to close it, whereupon 
Windows says the program is not responding and I confirm it 
should kill it.  Then I delete the lock file so I can run GnuCash 
again.

The mentioned bug 645273 reports very different symptoms.  
Nonetheless I fooled with default browser setting, seemed to
make no difference.
 
That made me realized that maybe I just need to update since I'm 
on XP SP2, which has IE6, pretty old - went through an involved 
process to end up with XP SP3 and IE8, and now the reports no 
longer hang.  They may appear to hang, showing no progress and 
being unresponsive for minutes, but each of the previously 
mentioned ones will now complete.
