We noticed something on a 2.4.17 machine here yesterday.. might not be related.. but both sync and umount of a loop-mounted ext2 filesystem caused the umount/sync process to hang in the D-state. The loop0 kernel thread hung in the same state. And this was 100% reproducible, on THAT box at least with that ext2 filesystem-image.
