BTW, it would be much better if you could do an Alt+SysRq+t (press
together) from the character console and could decode the output
(should go also to /var/log/dmesg or /var/log/messages) with
'ksymoops'. The Magic SysRq Key's can be enabled as

echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq

Hi,

Somebody who can reproduce the problem (I couldn't) would please
'strace' drakfont and send the last 50-100 lines or put all output to
some downloadable place to see where the NTFS driver hangs? You can
try by starting drakfont like

strace -f -e trace=file drakfont

or after it's started but before importing Windows font, what makes
the driver hang, attaching to drakfont like

strace -f -e trace=file -p 

A quick summary for the Linux-NTFS-Dev members (for more see the
bug entries 427, 835 and 1984 at the below bug database URL):

- hang is apparently CPU independent (reports on Duron and PII)
- drakfont/ls can hang the driver while cp worked at the same time
- reports using both Windows 2000 and XP NTFS filesystems
- fgriffin (sorry, I don't have your name) suggested also
  a reproducible way in one of the bug entries involving
  Windows "shortcuts".
