I run the fork-test on 2.1.127 + patch IKD. It never hanged in two hours
(under any kind of load). It was used to hang in arca-22 after some
minutes. So the bug is hided very well by the IKD tracing slowdown :-(.
No progress except that commenting out reschedule_idle() in
wake_up_process() seems to fix the bug too. If somebody would confirm this
it would be nice. It seems that the kernel loops in schedule() in entry.S
because need_resched is set. I could be wrong here though because I don' t
have a good kernel trace yet...
