Can i just check this? You later said:

It prints the banner in the MIDDLE of your bbackupquery session, AFTER you 
run the compare command? And then hangs? And the server is hung as well?
That's pretty messed up! I can't even see how the code could do that.

What platform are the server and client, what version of GCC do you use, 
where did you get the packages (or did you build them yourself) and do you 
have any reason to suspect hardward problems such as bad RAM on either 
server or client?

Could you possibly attach a debugger to the hung bbstored process and get 
a backtrace for me? ("bt" command in gdb).

Cheers, Chris.
