Yesterday I've got a `pseudo-freeze' problem (in 2.1.127): at 23:00,
while I was doing a massive tar/gz (about 1Gig of stuff) I've noticed
a total slowdown (seeing the drive light off, I thought it was
finished... no). It was 100% CPU in system (shown in top, about 50
secs to launch it, BTW). There was 3 cron instances (at 23:00 starts a
job to check symlinks) and my tar each with 25% CPU in system.

Alt-Scrollock said it was in schedule() (I've got the numbers written -
all very near -, so maybe I can locate the point).

gcc is egcs-2.91.57. Simple PII/300 uniproc
