Console hangs when running any web3.eth getter functions such as web3.eth.accounts.

Steps to Reproduce

2) in truffle(develop) console run web3.eth.accounts

Expected Behavior

List all the accounts in the development blockchain.

Actual Results

Terminal hangs on the command.

Environment

• Operating System: macOS Sierra 10.12.6

• Ethereum client: The new ganache-core development blockchain that comes with v4
• node version: 5.4.1
• npm version: 8.2.1

Can confirm, the process uses 100% CPU. Ctrl + c does nothing, kill <PID> kills the process.

OS: Ubuntu 16.04
Truffle v4.0.0-beta.0

This should be fixed and going out in the next beta.
