Indeed, and the EPICS version might make a difference.

I read
  "pvget replaced caget, giving us two implementations that behave the same."
as both "caget" and "pvget -p ca" were used with the same result.
Might point to a problem in the CA client lib as the common denominator.

Maybe one can attach gdb to the hung caget/pvget process and see why it's stuck and not exiting.
