What happens if you run lapw1para? Do you have anything appended to 
:parallel file?
You could try setting debug from 0 to 1 in lapw1para script. It'll 
provide you some more info where script actually hangs.

If your login shell is tcsh, try running anything (eg. date &) in 
background and check if it behaves different from lapw1.
If your login shell is different from tcsh, run tcsh first, and inside 
this shell try executing anything in background.

There's a change in arithmetics in tcsh 6.15.01 - before this version 
expressions were evaluated right-to-left. Starting with this version 
expressions are (by default) evaluated left-to-right. You can find this 
patch in mailing-list archives from 18th june, but you don't  really 
need it  with  your version of tcsh.
