Sometimes the machine just hung, with nothing in the logs. The machine is
a Sony laptop (i686).
I have been testing the patch on another machine (x86_64) and had no
problem at all, so the reproduceability of the bug might depend on the
arch or some config option. I'll help nailing down this issue if I can,
just tell me what to do.
Thanks,
