im  writing an iSCSI initiator, which is 'almost' beta, but now im
getting into trouble.
to exercise the system im doing:
	cd /<to the iscsi device>
	rsh some-host -n dump 0f - /somefilesystem | restore rf -
this 
	o- works fine with no tags on UP/SMP hosts
	o- works fine with tags and UP
	o- gets stuck with tags and SMP
the restore is usualy waiting on biord.
so my guess is some timing problem, or some resource stagnation, but can't
see anything suspicious. the system is responsive, for a while
then it gets stuck solid in
	nfs not respondig ...
the system is diskless :-)

so any ideas on how to back track this problem?
the system is running 5.4-PRERELEASE, but was showing the same with 5.3
the network nic is 
	Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Connection, Version - 1.7.35
and the cpu is a dual
	Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 3.06GHz

thanks,
	danny
