OK - that's our step-g importer getting into bad terrain somehow.  I
just tried the same build settings on Ubuntu 14.04 myself and didn't
see that issue - what gcc compiler were you using?

The next thing to try is to see if you can get it to hang inside gdb:

gdb --args ./bin/step-g -O NIST_MBE_PMI_2.g ../db/nist/NIST_MBE_PMI_2.stp

If it freezes up, break and get a backtrace to see where we're getting
into trouble.

Give -DBRLCAD_ENABLE_BULLET=ON a try - that seems to do it here.
