Solid hang in 2.0.36-pre-patch-14

If I run superformat /dev/fd0 sect=21 cyl=83
as a normal user (in group floppy) in one VC, and
hold tab-complete in bash in another VC,
(I got visual bell on, so I get this real fun
to watch screen flicker)

I get a solid hang everytime. Nothing in log
or on screen.

Machine has a Spacewalker m/b with Celeron 300A,
Intel 440BX chipset.
DEC DC21140 NIC, NCR 53c875J SCSI,
S3 Inc. ViRGE/DX or /GX

RedHat 5.1 all updates, 2.0.36-pre-patch-14
superformat from fdutils-5.2

Never had *any* trouble with this box, compiled
the kernel 40 times in a row under heavy load
the other day.

I'll be happy to post the kernel config or more
details if anyone wants it.
