[2.6.10-rc1-bk4/i386] app hangs and tasklisk corruption

[Alexander Stohr]

Hello,

i am test driving the bitkeeper snapshot from last night
and found strangs application hangs when compling e.g. gcc.
the problem happens with gcc and with the configure scripts.
when getting hung, the application wont respond to ctrl-c
anymore, but can be killed from a separate shell. despite
this temporary success, in the long term the task list gets
increasingly corrupt (like showing wrong users or even tasks
arent existing anymore) so that proceeding gets a mess.

I dont know if todays snapshop will improve anynthing
in that area and i am not sure if i will test that. 
the kernel i lasted tested was 2.6.11-rc1-bk1 which
behaved as it should. my testing platform has 2 cpus.

-Alex.
