Hello colleagues,

I am experiencing a rare livelock on four of my backend mail servers running 6.1-STABLE, 6.2-BETA2 and 6.2-RC1. They are running OpenLDAP slapd, postfix and UW-IMAPD.

The servers can run for months without any problem, but nevertheless I have experienced this problem on multiple versions and different hardware configurations about 5 times since september / october 2006.

Server is responding to pings, but all other activity halts.

On one occasion when one of the servers displayed this behaviour it managed to recover from the situation by itself after being gone for 20-30 minutes.

Typical hardware configuration:
CPU  2x Xeon 3.06GHz or 1x Core2Duo 2.00GHz (SMP)
RAM  4 GB RAM
DISK Intel SRCU42X (amr) or Dell PERC 5/i (mfi)

Kernel config:
include GENERIC
options KDB # Enable kernel debugger support.
options         BREAK_TO_DEBUGGER
options         DDB                     # Support DDB.
options         GDB                     # Support remote GDB.
options         QUOTA
options         SMP

On the last crash i collected the following info from DDB:

I have a crashdump or two available for further investigation.
