See:
  https://buildd.debian.org/fetch.cgi?pkg=agda;ver=2.2.6-3;arch=hppa;stamp=1267463849

In this case, the build started at:
 2010.02.27 04:20

And I killed it at:
 2010.03.01 17:17

I let it retry in case it was a transient problem, but it again hung
indefinitely on the same file.

It occurred on both buildds, which run the same kernel/config as our
porterbox.
