Are you sure that it is actually hung (meaning you have to use C-g to
get Emacs to respond to further commands) and not just doing nothing?  I
ask because that function (vm-mime-display-external-generic) maintains a
cache that stores the temporary file name and the process used to
display it, and if that process is still running it simply does nothing.
What is the vm-mime-delete-viewer-processes option set to in your VM
session?
