It won't go any further than that, and I can't use ctrl C to get out of it. I have to close my connection to the shell. Have you had this problem before? If so, how did you fix it?

Try Control +Z then 'bg'

Then examine the ircd process with a debugger and a system call tracer to attempt to find where the process is hanging.

I.E. In Linux, using strace and gdb

# strace -p <Process Id>

# gdb /path/to/ircd <ProcessId> (gdb) bt
