As I said earlier in this thread, I would like to be of assistance in
tracking this down.
I am not that familiar with debugging this stuff, but have a box at home
(that has apparently just crashed as I cannot reach it atm.) on which I
can reproduce the hang quite easily ( tar -C /opt/data/templates/ -xf
TEMPLATE.tgz | tar -C /vservers/ -xf - ;# crashes my box
time..and..time..again). So if anyone can give me a bit more debugging
clue, I am willing to spend some time in tracking this down.
The machine itself is an abit bp6 dual celeron running gentoo linux and
the gentoo vserver kernel from a month orso ago, which is vs2.1.0pre5
afaik - all prior functions crashed at the same rate as well.
