> Possible suspect players:
> dpkg seems to trigger the bug
> ReiserFS is the partition that doesn't sync
> binfmt_misc shows up in the call traces.

> Symptoms:
>
> The system assumes glacial speeds. If you're *lucky*, you'll see one
> widget re-paint in X before the next ice age. Ctrl-alt-delete is
> unresponsive, as are attempts to start proccesses via the network or
> joystick port. Keypresses to programs such as getty are not echoed.
> All program output to console and network is stopped dead. If you leave
> for a several-hour-long coffee break and come back to it, there's still
> no evidence that you banged on the keyboard.
