 As far as I can tell it's hanging in the last ioctl() .

 I can compile it with debugging symbols and trace through the execution, 
 but it seems like the ioctl() is where it's hanging, again some kind of
 odd terminal thing.

 I don't have any set at this time, just the default pass any any. 
 
 I'll trace through it with gdb if you think it will help.
