Unfortunately, make world stuck in the *exact* same place as well :(

maybe the best bet is a restore from backup? The most frustrating thing is 
that the process just hangs .. nothing in logs at all. The box itself 
carries on its merry way. However, I bet that if the box is rebooted, it 
won't come back up again without major surgery.

Next step is to stop following stable and to redownload version plus 
bugfixes of 4.5. (once I discover the cvsup version syntax :)). If that 
fails, its the backups (which I dont really want to do as they are a month 
old...)
