Hi,

I have a strange problem with scheduler in Linux 2.1.127/2.1.128 on a
Pentium UP. At certain time, I had to wait for more than 10 minutes to
start a new process, like ls in shell. The existing running processes
seem ok. I can still do things as long as I don't try to start a new
process. I don't know what triggers the problem. There is no kernel
messages. The machine load is unusually high. It acts as if the
scheduler gets in a tight loop and wastes CPU time.
