Here I am. :-)  It looks like fax2ps is hung, not faxgetty, but because
faxrcvd hasn't returned anything to faxgetty... faxgetty hasn't changed the
"Receiving from..." message.

I'd *still* like a look at your session log now that you've turned up
SessionTracing to 0xFFF.  The log should be there without killing faxgetty,
fax2ps, or faxrcvd.

fax2ps is a part of libtiff, not HylaFAX (although the origins of both are
the same).  What would be ideal, though, is for you to re-create by hand
and test the fax2ps command issued by faxrcvd which is causing the hang:

 $FAX2PS $FILE 2>/dev/null

I'd guess that you could remove this portion from your faxrcvd without any
ill effects as I've never seen a postscript attachment with the receipt
notifications.
