How can I diagnose this issue?

I've tried using strace and I see the following that seems to be stuck in a loop:

recvfrom(5, "\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 567516, 0, NULL, NULL) = 567516

    The easiest thing to do will be to bisect your user-configuration by commenting stuff out, saving and restarting Emacs until the problem goes away. Or, build Emacs from source and launch Emacs under GDB to get a meaningful backtrace. Of course, you want to try it with zero configuration to make sure the stock Emacs is good. – lawlist Jul 14 '18 at 22:19
  • What @lawlist said. The first thing to do is see if you have the same problem if you start Emacs using `emacs -Q` (no init file). If so, then please report an Emacs bug using `M-x report-emacs-bug`. If not, the problem is caused by your init file: bisect to find it. – Drew Jul 15 '18 at 01:47
  • Which operating system? Does it occur when starting Emacs with -Q? – Lindydancer Jul 15 '18 at 13:20
  • Arch Linux. It did not hang running in via `emacs -nw`. I can't try `-Q` as the issue is no longer present. I think it was caused due to some external system package - as when I updated the issue went away. – Chris Stryczynski Jul 15 '18 at 14:07
