Nope. Simple and plain while(1); 's
I can try 32-bit kernel to check.
Don't bother. I just checked 2.6.22-rc3 and the problem is not present
which means something between rc2 and rc3 has fixed the problem. I hate
it when problems (appear to) fix themselves as it usually means they're
just hiding.
I didn't see any patches between rc2 and rc3 that were likely to have
fixed this (but doesn't mean there wasn't one). I'm wondering whether I
should do a git bisect to see if I can find where it got fixed?
Could you see if you can reproduce it on 2.6.22-rc2?
Thanks
