I've done some testing on these bugs. After 599351, I moved back to
Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64, at which time I filed 599496 (because a very
similar problem occurred). I had installed libdrm{2,-intel1}
2.4.22~pre(something) and reverting back to 2.4.21-1~squeeze3 fixed the
problem.
I need to do some more testing to see if 2.4.22-1 will work properly,
and also whether 599351 disappears on 2.6.36-rc5 with the older libdrm
(or 2.4.22-1). Regardless of the results, neither of these bugs should
be closed, since the kernel should not allow processes to hang on syscalls
regardless of the data passed. Cloning 599351 to libdrm would be fine
with me.
