Indeed!
It seems that mzscheme v 399 hangs on the phase of compiling zos for the
package sources. The problem can also be reproduced by running setup-plt -l
for the package.

IIUC, mzscheme attempts to create zo files on the first download from the
planet repository; subsequent 'require's from planet work fine.
Sorry for missing this. Before submission, I successfully unit tested the
package code for both PLT v 360 and v 399 and successfully compiled the
package sources into zo files for PLT v 360, but not v 399. OTOOH, I believe
that a package submitter alone should not be able to hang the compiler; the
package itself had no drastic code changes since as long as PLT v 20X. I
thus believe that someone from PLT developerment team could elaborate the
question better than me.
