Well, it's still "running" this morning so I am killing it.  Thanks.

I'll go find a different tool to do what I need.

If it runs more than a few minutes it's almost certainly hung and should be killed.  There are still a LOT of bugs in sox, so it's not unusual to have it choke on a file now and then.  The problem is, when it chokes on a file, it often continues to choke on that same file repeatedly, using a different tool often becomes necessary at that point.
