The symptom is a total system freeze, i.e. I can't get into DDB. I can repeat it only with qmail, but of course I don't think it's qmail specific in any way; probably something to do with locking. To reproduce it I run: find . -type f | xargs mutt (on my machine, all emails get delivered to me) A kernel from Oct 1 doesn't have this issue; a kernel from Oct 5 has. I'll start binary searching for a commit I can blame. Anybody seen anything like this?
