bbgen shouldn't take more than a few seconds to run. It's cpu-intensive,
but not that much. So something's broken.

If you haven't done it yet, kill it with a "kill -6 <process-ID>". This
should generate a core file, and it would be interesting to see what the
backtrace is (see the "Reporting bugs" on-line help).

Sounds like it is reproducible. That's good (for debugging, at least!)
