Running kernel-2.1.131-pre3 I got another stuck process:

[jogi@planetzork jogi]$ ps alwx | grep -E ' D ' | grep -v grep
0 500 1180 1 0 0 832 372 down_failed D ? 0:00 find

The find was running on the same directory which caused the above cvs command
to get stuck. But with 2.1.131-pre3 I get an oops in dmesg:

System is plain 2.1.131-pre3 SMP compiled with gcc-2.7.2.3.

I hope this helps to squeeze this bug.
