Same here.

I can run top. But as soon as I try to start mozilla, top freezes. Other 
odd processes hang: the shutdown script for cups hangs; uic from qt 
hangs; startkde hangs ( good thing gnome works! ).

bk3 also works for me. From the bk4 changelog, not clear whats the problem

260t11-bk4 problem -- hung processes

[Pete Clements]

With 2.6.0-t11-bk4, mozilla hangs before it can come up.
At this point other processes that touch the associated
/proc entries hang also (such as a ps). Can not kill the
process. Shutdown also hangs.

Everything fine with bk3.
