xfs_repair stops on "traversing filesystem..."

Hello!

I have a little problem with XFS filesystem that I have on one of my
machines. I try to make xfs_repair that was not making any problems
before, but xfs_repair stops on:

Phase 6 - check inode connectivity...
        - resetting contents of realtime bitmap and summary inodes
        - traversing filesystem ...

CPU usage grows up to 100%. I left it in the night hoping it will finish
job till morning, but the situation hasn't changed...

System is Debian Lenny with current updates and custom 2.6.30.1 kernel
xfsprogs-2.9.8. Filesysystem is placed on LVM2 Logical Volume.

I upgraded xfsprogs to 3.0.2 version and the problem still persists.
Then I reverted to 2.9.8 package from Debian Lenny.
Switching back to debian default 2.6.26 kernel doesn't help too.

I can mount this filesystem and operate on it.

Data on this system is not so crucial, because it's backup/testing
machine, but it would be great to keep this data, because synchronizing
14TB of data will take some time.

Output from xfs_info:
# xfs_info /mnt/storage/
meta-data=/dev/mapper/p02bvg-p02blv isize=256    agcount=32,
agsize=268435455 blks

         =                       sunit=0      swidth=0 blks
naming   =version 2              bsize=4096
log      =internal               bsize=4096   blocks=32768, version=2
         =                       sectsz=512   sunit=0 blks, lazy-count=0
realtime =none                   extsz=4096   blocks=0, rtextents=0

Any ideas how to make xfs_repair working again?

Best regards,
