Hi guys,

We (David Miller and I) are already working on this. We finally got some info
dump from a debugging patched kernel and I expect we will have a fix within the
next 3/4 weeks.
>From our first look it seems like a futex bug and some users have reported that
the latest 2.6.23-rcX do not show this behavior. Clearly we also want to figure
out a fix for .22.
