Bug#607879: System hangs up with mmap.c:873!

> ok, does it happen if you boot the livecd under qemu?

I just tested it. Booting the DVD ISO in qemu took more than 20 minutes to get 
to a console prompt. My usual setting is Debian Live on a USB flash drive with 
a "live-rw" persistency partition. This setup boots from the USB flash drive 
in around 50 seconds on my machine.

Starting up KDE did not finish in the qemu test (I stopped it after 40 
minutes). Shutting down in qemu took almost three minutes, in my usual setting 
it takes around ten seconds.

I did not experience the system hang in this one single qemu test run (I also 
do not run into the system hangup on real hardware all the time) but I fail to 
see the value in retrying with quemu as it is slow beyond repair. We better 
test with real hardware and real scenarios.

Best regards
