Hello all,

I've just add two hangs with a plain vanilla kernel 2.4.21 on a Debian
woody up2date. The machine is an old Pentium 100 with 64 Mb. Softs
running on this machine are :
- Apache+PHP+mod_ssl+...
- Sendmail+spamassassin
- Mailman (This can explain the python)
- proftpd
- squid

I have installed gallery for fotos and while adding many big photos at a
time  (the process is quite consuming... the CPU is 100% during this).
The problem seems to not occur when adding photo by photo

The trace on the logs :

What is the problem ? And is this problem will be fixed in the newest
2.4.22 ?

Attached the .config of the kernel. If you need more info I can try to
provide them...

Please CC me as I'm not on the list

Regards,

Have fun and keep up the good work you are doing ;-)
