Unfortunately yes. Tomasz Kobylinski reported similiar behaviour
recently. And it seems it was introduced in 0.5.x series. I'd like to find
the exact change that caused that effect, but I know that it will be
extremly hard. But if you were so kind to do more testing this is what to
do:
 - test several gnokii versions (at least full versions) and see which one
was the latest working one (see Tomasz emails from August for some hints)
 - try to run gnokii --monitor and see whether it hangs
Unfortunately I don't have spare SIM card at the moment and all my tests
are apparently too short -- I don't get any phone freezes..

Thanks, I'll add support for this response.
