Hello Bacula gurus :)

I've got an issue with "Run Before Job" script. The script is ran before every 
job (ie. it's in JobDefs resource), but sometimes the job won't run and I see 
that bacula-dir process is hanging eternally while using 99% of CPU. Meanwhile 
Bacula continues its other normal operations etc. It's happening with 
different versions of Bacula from 2.0 to 2.4.2 (every one of them on different 
versions of FreeBSD, usually 6.x or 7.0). When I kill -9 the hanging bacula-
dir process, I get an error e-mail from Bacula server saying smth like:
=====
16-Aug 23:05 vanden-dir JobId 891: BeforeJob: run command 
"/usr/local/etc/bacula/sh/check-job.sh 'frontier-var' '891'"
26-Aug 10:03 vanden-dir JobId 891: Error: Runscript: BeforeJob returned non-
zero status=9. ERR=Child died from signal 9: Kill, unblockable
=====
As can be seen from the message, that job had been hanging for 10 days :)

The script itself is for checking duplicate jobs. It looks like this:
=====
#!/bin/sh

jobName="$1"
jobId="$2"

found=`echo "status dir" | /usr/local/sbin/bconsole | grep -v "^ *${jobId}" | 
\
grep --only-matching " ${jobName}\.[0-9]\{4\}-[0-9]\{2\}-[0-9]\{2\}.*is 
\(running\|waiting\)"`

if [ "$found" != "" ]; then
        echo "Duplicate job found:$found!"
        exit 1
else
        echo "No duplicate jobs found! :)"
        exit 0
fi
=====

Any thoughts on what could cause that?
