Yes, I will try those patches over the weekend;  thanks for pointing
them out to me.  I think I will be able to tell quickly if it has helped
or not.

If it really is the same problem, the quickest way I've found to trigger
it is using Josm with the Bing Sat overlay enabled.  Lots of satellite
imagery tiles are downloaded into /tmp.  Every few minutes of working
seems to trigger this bug, locking up all accesses to /tmp, but it seems
to recover by itself after a minute or so.

xfce4-terminal is very sensitive to this;  trying to display more than
~25 lines of output (like the output of `dmesg` or `ps ax`) freezes the
terminal window (it may be trying to write scrollback history in /tmp).
 But if I pipe output to `less` instead it is fully usable.

Other triggers for this seem to be iceweasel sometimes (if there are
many, many tabs open) or rarely qjackctl (once every few weeks).
Killing the responsible process makes the system immediately responsive
again.

Regards,
