	Tests made with a 2.6.22.1 (NIS works with 2.6.22.1 and not with=20
2.6.22-rc7, but I don't know why... ;-) )

	When I write these lines, my mail server is blocked due to clamd socket=20
trouble :

Root rayleigh:[/etc/mail] > ps -eLf | grep clamd
clamav    3502     1  3502  1    2 10:53 ?        00:01:23 /usr/sbin/clamd
clamav    3502     1  7226  0    2 12:00 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/clamd
root      8091  5893  8091  0    1 12:18 pts/0    00:00:00 grep clamd

	clamd remains in S mode.

	I have tried to obtain mode information with sysrq+w without any=20
success, sysrq+w returns no blocked task. In this example, clamd is=20
blocked, but some other tasks can be blocked.

	Regards,
