Comment (by Jim Bell <jim@…>):

 Update: this same problem occurs with MinGW-64 gcc 4.5.  Both trunk and
 release test programs seem to remain compute-bound indefinitely (i.e., hog
 a CPU).  Both, when attached with gdb, show a stack-trace just like the
 above trunk trace.

 Note also that the regression test has moved on and didn't kill this task
 as it should have. (Is that the crux of the issue?)
