I'm seeing weird hangs running ltp on 2.6.21-rc2-mm2. It manifests
itself by the waitpid06 test in LTP hanging. This is very, very
reproducible in about 5 seconds by adding '-s wait' to the ltp command
line.
I see 4 waitpid06 processes on my 4-way machine spinning in userspace.
But, the weird part is that I can't ssh in once this happens, but I can
log in to the console. I've bisected it down to:
