Can you be more specific about "hangs"? Does the program exit or stay
running? Do you continue to see output to the mdout file? If you run
top, is it using the maximum processor that it can, or is it
stopped/blocked?
Also, what compiler and platform are you using?
This seems very curious because igb=7 uses all of the code used by igb=5
(plus a little more for the neck correction).
