Yes the configuration files that were uploaded were the hang-a-matic configuration files. I did copy them over and they still cause the hang. I started removing lines from the config file until pcbnew started without hanging.
I uploaded a config file where removing the first line, "canvas_type=1", causes pcbnew to start normal. Unfortunately, this line is in a working config file, so I can only guess that there is some interaction between this line and the other lines in the config file that causes unhappiness in pcbnew.
Everyone, Thanks for your time and attention.
