Hi All,

i've been running kernel 2.4.21-preX series for a while on my ASUS A7V8X
motherboard ( with an athlon XP 2400+ ) and i've noticed the following
annoying problem.
Very often, mozilla ( 1.2.1 ) dies and is stuck in D state, waiting on a
semaphore, here's the output of ps :

ps -elf | grep mozill
000 S userX 2615 1462 0 69 0 - 972 wait4 00:50 ?
00:00:00 /bin/sh /usr/local/mozilla/run-mozilla.sh
/usr/local/mozilla/mozilla-bin
000 D userX 2621 2615 0 69 0 - 13623 down 00:50 ?
00:00:02 /usr/local/mozilla/mozilla-bin

Has anyone noticed the same behaviour ? Is this a well known problem ?
Thanks for your help.
Regards

Charles-Edouard Ruault
