Thanks.

Since you already have a working setup for reproducing the problem,
could you please attach GDB to the daemon when it hangs, and show
both a C-level and a Lisp-level backtrace?  (This could be tricky if
you don't have a working GDB installed on your macOS system, because
LLDB isn't supported by src/.gdbinit init file.  But maybe you could
do this on Ubuntu?)  This could go a long way towards identifying the
problematic piece of code.
