You mean that the linux command line hangs while xorp is in the broken
state?

If so, it's probably a kernel bug of some sort (something probably holds
the netdev list lock or similar).

Please show me the strace output from one of the blocking commands:
strace ip route show

What Linux kernel version are you using?

If you run strace or gdb against the xorp-fea process, can you see
if it's hung in any particular system call?

Can you use a newer version of OpenVZ, or maybe try to replicate
using something other than openVZ?

Also, 1.6 is not under active development...please try xorp.ct:
