I recall an issue like this being reported before.  One workaround was to
disable sound.  It seemed like the problem related somehow to releasing
pulseaudio.

Could you try starting it from the command line and see does the problem
repeat?  Then, set
	export ESPEAKER=
	export PULSE_SERVER=

and see does the issue go away.  If it doesn't, maybe disable sound on a
thin client (in lts.conf) and try again.  Obviously you want sound, but
this will hopefully help track down cause of the issue.
