} Yes. A lot of swapping and a highly fragmented file system on MFS should help
} provoking this problem.

Do you think this could explaint the MFS related hangs I've been seeing
in 2.1-stable?  If I use MFS for /tmp, copy a large file into /tmp,
delete the file, then copy it into /tmp again, the machine will hang.
It responds to pings.  It will also respond to ^T until I try to
interrupt a process with ^C.  The only way to unhang it is to use
the reset button.
