It doesn't get hung-up.  I've seen this on two windows machines.  I have a
similar laptop that takes a long time to build xastir (I just let it go and
a few days later when I think of it I turn the screen back on to see that
it's done).  If you let it run long enough it will finish.  12 hours may
not be long enough.

Now that's a whole different topic.  :)  Although it is nice to be able to
run linux-type applications on a windows machine when windows is your only
choice (thankfully it's not my only choice).
