Description

"source aleph_start", which should take just a second or two, hangs (gives no response) for many seconds.

 "ps -ef |grep aleph_start" shows that hundreds of processes have been started.

Resolution

Do Ctrl-C to end the transaction.  Check for mistakes in the aleph_start file.

In this particular case, an attempt had been made to move aleph_utf to a different location.  The old setenv for aleph_utf had been commented out using an "*" rather than the "#" which should have been used to indicate a comment.  

After making this correction, "source aleph_start" worked properly.
