I did a search on env Mod alias and ended up with many hits. Most refer 
to modprobe. I have no idea but wonder if the reference to running out 
of memory with certain devices is causing you the problem. I'd 
investigate why it is hanging and try to get this normalized to normal 
scripts. Maybe more memory or something might help overcome the problem.
