diagnosing emacs hangs



Hi all,

I'm now using emacs for almost everything and of course that's great,
except that it is essentially a single-threaded OS that currently HANGS
with some frequency (100% CPU usgte that will continue for hours if you
let it go.  I think this probably has something to do with wanderlust or
possibly org-mode (and/or misconfigurations i've made to both of these);
but at present i cna't be sure since i have no idea how to diagnose
these hangs.  Can someone give me some general directions on how to
proceed with the diagnosis, and if you have them, some pointers on how
you fixed a similar problem that you used to have?  Right now it's very
frustrating -- I find myself losing substantial amounts of work when I
kill emacs & maybe more importantly, i'm constantly losing my train of
thought.  

This is all under Ubuntu Lucid with emacs-snapshot 20090909,
wanderlust=wl-beta 2.15.9+0.20100303, org-mode 6.34c (some of htese are
debian sid packages).  

Thanks much in advance, 

matt
