Actually, I just found the cause, sort-of. It's because I had
accessibility enabled, which creates an extra thread, which then gets
stuck somewhere in pthread_cond_wait(). I haven't quite found out why
that happens yet, but at least I know where to look. If you want to
investigate it further, it'd be awesome. Right now I can't afford
spending any more time on it and am happy with just getting it
working. Fortunately I don't need a11y for daily work, so I can simply
disable it and pretend it doesn't exist for now.

Cheers,
