Ah, in that case I have another problem. I was trying to find out why
unpacking tar archives had stopped working, but got distracted by the
hanging. Now I get:

$ echo Hi > foo
$ gzip foo
$ pola-run -fw / -e /bin/gunzip foo.gz
gunzip: foo: Operation not permitted
$ cat foo
Hi

$ pola-run -fw / -e /bin/tar xzf plash_1.17.orig.tar.gz
/bin/tar: plash-1.17.orig/web-site/methods.xxml: Cannot utime: No such
file or directory
/bin/tar: plash-1.17.orig/web-site/logo.png: Cannot utime: No such
file or directory
/bin/tar: plash-1.17.orig/web-site/make.pl: Cannot utime: No such file
or directory
/bin/tar: plash-1.17.orig/web-site/pola-run.xxml: Cannot utime: No
such file or directory
[...]

This is also on Ubuntu/feisty.
