Thanks a lot for following up; sorry for the lag, I had to moderate the
message to get through and I only just saw the message
I am not very fast either ;)

  

    
Unfortunately, the problem did not disappear with the upgrade :(
As soon as I access my ZIP, even with "head -c1 /dev/hdd", the
infinite loop is back, using 100% of my little PentiumIII 450.
    

  

  

Does this happen even while hald is not running? I guess it really will
happen even though hald is not running, because of this message from the
syslog

Aug 17 22:25:40 localhost udev[23814]: configured rule in '/etc/udev/rules.d/51-udev-persistent.rules' at line 3 applied, 'hdd4' becomes '%k'

Try moving that file out of the way and see if it happens again.

  



Right, it happens also when hald is not running and hiding the file
causes the infinite loop to

go away. I attached the file for information, it's a vanilla
fedora/udev one.



  

  

    
The only way to stop the loop is to mount the ZIP or to eject it.
In the latter case hald will crash.

    

  

  

Ugh, that's bad, care to send a backtrace?

  



Sorry, forgot to download the source while at work. It will be for
tomorrow it seems :(



Thanks for your help.
