Okay I just want to give a shout out to all the players, like Anarchid, who offered to help me out with a special thanks to Chesti for helping me resolve this (you're gettin' the kudos from me you deserve too for this one buddy). Even though this is embarrassing and I ended up with some egg on my face I figured I should do a writeup in case someone else ends up in the same situation:

Both the crash and the hang were due to the Zero-K Lobby (in .NET) being unable to run the spring executable. It turns out that (in order to lighten the RAM demand on this system running with no HDD) I had moved the .spring folder to a USB Thumbdrive and soft-linked it to my home directory (e.g. ~/.spring -> /media/mint/Thumbdrive/Spring). The problem occurred because the FAT file system under Linux (vfat) is not a full VFS implementation and doesn't implement eXecution unless specially mounted. So one solution would be to remount the Thumbdrive (e.g. mount -o umask=000 /dev/sdb1 /media/mint/Thumbdrive). The other solution (the one I opted for) was to create a 1.5GB loopback device with a "real" (i.e. fully VFS compliant) filesystem on it as follows:
