That depends on how it hangs. Poorly written programs can sometimes get 
caught in uninterruptable IO. It's perfectly normal for a program to go 
non-interruptable every now and then, but it shouldn't stay there for 
any prolonged period of time. A process in uninterruptable state has the 
'D' flag set in ps output, so you should be able to check it with 
check_procs.

Usually, checking for both 'D' and 'Z' processes, both with a rather low 
threshold, can help you keep your system healthy, or at least properly 
diagnosed.
