The defun vc-find-file-hook defined in lisp/vc/vc-hooks.el contains

(if (yes-or-no-p (format
	   "Symbolic link to %s-controlled source file; follow link? " link-type))

If emacs loads a file at init time that triggers that question and there
is no active frame nor associated console (i.e. emacs is starting in
daemon mode from a launcher such as KDERunner or some script) the effect
is that the initialization freezes because the user cannot see nor
answer the question.
