Description

### Description

Colima hanged on my macOS installation. The VMs I try to start simply get stuck. If I run `colima status`, it just hangs there forever.

`colima stop` returns `INFO[0000] stopping colima` and then also hangs.

`colima start` just returns `WARN[0000] already running, ignoring`.

The only way out was to manually kill the process `qemu-system_x86_64` and restart colima, but then it froze again after running a VM. Even after that, `colima start` would print

```
INFO[0000] starting colima
INFO[0000] runtime: docker
```

and then again get stuck.

### Version

```
colima version 0.6.8
git commit: 9b0809d0ed9ad3ff1e57c405f27324e6298ca04f

While it was in the stuck behavior, only the first two lines are displayed, then it hangs.
