hcxtools - solution for capturing wlan traffic and conversion to hashcat formats
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):

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.

BTW:
I'm not a native english speaker, so my english isn't much better....
