Hi list.

I'm watching this list for a while because it seems, that I'm also
affected by this bug. In the archives I found someone with Gentoo system
with freezing `svn info' (thats why I joined). Well, seems that I have 
same issue here.

Attached latest _rc kernel sysrq+t output (first part when the `svn
info' freezed on libgcrypt, and second after ctrl+c that emerge).

Seems that my backtrace is small compared to Marias. I'm missing some
features in kernel to get larger backtraces?
