Hi, I've been having some problems with recent builds of 4.5-STABLE. I
have an old Dell PowerEdge SP590-2 system. It has two pentium-90 CPUs.

Since recently, it has been hanging randomly. First, TCP listening daemons
stop taking new connections, then it stops wanting to spawn new processes,
and then just hangs dead, not even dropping into gdb.

We've checked every posibility, even that of a DoS, we've disconnected it
from the network, and not mounted unneeded file systems. Still it does the
same...

It worked fine with a 4.5-RELEASE-p2 kernel which was built SMP. Non-SMP
kernels also run without a hitch.

Any thoughts?

Will
