So, for whatever reason, tbl2hex is either hanging or in an infinite loop. If 
you have strace on your system, could you please find the pid for tbl2hex 
(while it's in that state), and then, from a different session, use strace to 
try to find out what tbl2hex is doing. Try a command like this:

   strace -p pid-of-tbl2hex -o /path/to/log-file
