Diagnose stalled analysis.

I have a large (~8 million DOF) model that I need to run static and modal solutions on. My first attempts have reached the point of applying external loads for the static case and, completing the solution for modes for the modal analysis. At this point, the analysis appears to stall (the analysis process is running although there are no further writes to the disk), are there are no error messages in the f06 file. There is plenty of scratch space allocated for SCRATCH and SCRATCH300, and no problems with disk space either. The f04 file does show spill to disk although that should not stop the analysis from running.
