This is more than 3000 revisions old, from early November of last year.
Please update.

Although there is no guarantee that updating will make it Work, even
people running code less than a week old have sometimes posted about a
problem only to be told "svn update, it's been fixed". For code six
months old, it's definitely worth checking the latest.

For what it's worth: on my system (running the slightly old r22703), it
hangs at the exact point where your first "rdt chunk not recognized"
message appears, and does not appear to progress or to time out in a
reasonable time.
