Does not freeze on my computer (MacBook Pro), but took awhile.
Eventually this answer appeared:
-1.70252*10^-14 - 2.60026*10^-14 i
but along the way produced two messages:

NIntegrate::slwcon: Numerical integration converging too slowly;
suspect one of the following: singularity, value of the integration is
0, highly oscillatory integrand, or WorkingPrecision too small.

NIntegrate::eincr: The global error of the strategy GlobalAdaptive has
increased more than 2000 times. The global error is expected to
decrease monotonically after a number of integrand evaluations.
Suspect one of the following: the working precision is insufficient
for the specified precision goal; the integrand is highly oscillatory
or it is not a (piecewise) smooth function; or the true value of the
integral is 0. Increasing the value of the GlobalAdaptive option
MaxErrorIncreases might lead to a convergent numerical integration.
NIntegrate obtained -1.70252*10^-14-2.60026*10^-14 I and
3.41485808889887`*^-13 for the integral and error estimates.
