Marc (cc'd) saw similar[1] problems with .37, when using .36.2 the
problems didn't occur.  This was more reliable to trigger and he was so
kind to bisect the problem.

When testing v2.6.36-rc3-51-gafa8ccc init hanged.
(babddc72a9468884ce1a23db3c3d54b0afa299f0 is the first bad commit with
this hang.)  Commit 56e4ebf877b6043c289bda32a5a7385b80c17dee makes the
"init hangs" problem the "fileid changed on tab" problem.

I could only reproduce that on armv5 machines (imx27, imx28 and at91)
but not on armv6 (imx35).

Best regards
Uwe

[1] similar means: not during boot, but when hitting tab to get command
completion in the shell.
