Yes, it's Bzr Explorer hanging for sure, the tasks aren't that long and 
it happens very often (on commit, on pushing, on removing files...), I 
updated Bazaar version and (so long) it's not happening (also I have to 
say I'm not commiting changes in a couple of days as I'm entering a busy 
week in my project)
