Depends on the options, you used:
--use_gpsd -> if gpsd freeze, hcxdumptool will freeze, too
better choice:
---use_gps_device=your_device
make sure your device is working and has a fix:
$ cat your_device
you should receive non empty NMEA sentences
It is also possible, that the WiFi driver crashed (if you use an ath9k_htc device):
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=198701
https://github.com/ZerBea/hcxdumptool/issues/80
If you're running a Raspberry Pi, make sure that WiFi device and GPS device power consumption doesn't exceed USB power limit. Maximum total USB peripheral current draw states the max USB current for Pi(2/B+) is 600/1200mA. The limit for Pi3 is 1200mA. Earlier models claim 500mA. If you don't take care about that, the RPi will freeze.

My sentence is "hcxdumptool -i wlx00156d72f392 -o 11enero.pcapng --enable_status=1 --filterlist_ap=blacklist.txt --use_gps_device=/dev/ttyACM0 --nmea=test.nmea"

Ok, now we know the cause: ath9k_htc driver
I have a TPL-LINK TL-WN722N V1 for testing purpose and it shows the same "ugly" behavior.
$ hcxdumptool -I
wlan interfaces:
f81a6718410f wlp3s0f0u2 (ath9k_htc)
$ lsusb
ID 0cf3:9271 Qualcomm Atheros Communications AR9271 802.11n
First, the driver is running fine.

At this time hcxdumptool will freeze.
And the whole system died:

That isn't a dmesg log while hcxdumptool is running. Your log is showing NetworkManager access to the device.
As you can see from my dmesg log:
Jan 13 16:48:10.888795 tux1 kernel: kernel BUG at mm/slub.c:306!

The driver didn't accept commands from hcxdumptool any longer and crashed. The workload is too high for the driver.
Too bad, I'll have to go back to the old hcxdumptool since Version 6 is not compatible with my hardware. I will not be able to enjoy the benefits of the hash 22000
Thank you very much your for your attention and congratulations for these tools.
As of today, only mt76 and rt2800usb driver families are working without issues.
