How do you get out of it? Do you restart emacs?

If C-g does not work, then you are not going to be able to get a
backtrace in these circumstances.  You *might* be able to use edebug-defun
to single-step through the called functions and find out where it hangs
(it's tedious, but...)

What machine/OS are you running? Which version of emacs?

Assuming Linux, does top indicate that emacs is taking up all
the CPU? Or is it some other process?

top, ps, vmstat, iostat and so on are all useful in getting a
glimpse into what's happening.

Good luck,
Nick
