Hmmm, this used to happen on my (former) Redhat 8.0 server.
It appeared to hang now and then on unloading the ip_conntrack_ftp module.
As a workaround I used to stop the network manually, followed by stopping
iptables and then rebooting the system from a second login.
One of the reasons I moved to CentOS (4.2).
