Can you give any/all of the following?: - Exactly when the hang occurs - strace output - gdb backtraces > A good bit of Google research shows a lot of good discussion around > this problem, and more than a little "finger pointing" as to > where/why it exists. Let's confirm that this really *is* the same bug.
