For the record, I found the perl script ogg2mp3 which performed the job
just fine.  It requires the program ogg123 (and maybe others?).  My
install already had whatever programs the script needed.

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.
