I ran both scripts for 10 minutes (while true; do ./test.sh; sleep 5; done)
and no freeze for me.

I woke up early today to do some more tests . The hang occurs if there is
substantial traffic to the box running the scripts , ie around 300 kb/sec
sustained outgoing traffic . The box serves as ftp server . I could not
freeze it while the ftp daemon was not running (pureftpd) . When I
started the ftp daemon and traffic began to flow , again running the scripts
7-8 times resulted in a frozen system . I am trying to find out the specific
command that causes the problem....

ok , this 2 lines repated anything from 5 to 20 times cause the hang :
tc qdisc del dev eth0 ingress
tc qdisc add dev eth0 handle ffff: ingress
again , the presence of sustained outgoing traffic catalyses the effect .
It takes at least 150-200 kbytes/sec to easily cause the hang .

I've forwarded this to the right kernel people - your description is
specific enough, so I have good hope that this bug will be spotted soon!

Ok, I've been told that this might or might not help:
http://www.cyberus.ca/~hadi/patches/ing-stats.patch
This fixes a known issue that looks like this - can you try if this resolves
your problem? This patch will be in in 2.4.19 probably.

bert

Good to hear - I reported the success to the author, Jamal Hadi Salim -
thanks for verifying that it helps!
