So, I don't think it actually needs to be a very large file, just large enough
so that I can close the main firefox window before it completely downloads.
I've actually been downloading firefox itself as a testcase because it take a
few seconds to finish.

ps output attached

sysrq-l didn't have anything just:

"[1893205.442069] SysRq : Show backtrace of all active CPUs"

I should point out that firefox isn't "hung" in the traditional sense. It's not
using 100% cpu. I can cancel the download and exit just fine. But the download
itself it hung and will never finish. The only reason I'm reporting this to
ext4 instead of firefox is that it's 100% reproducible w/ext4 and works 100% of
the time w/ext3.
