Check well, Jeff; I remember a mail from you with someone who complained about 
ps or ls /proc locking, and you answered that someone locked task_list; I've 
read old messages recently, so maybe it's an old one and you don't remember.

In fact, I've found it on the uml-user list. In fact, it happens on the UML 
guest, but since the UML patch bundles the skas one(for nested UML's) I 
wouldn't be sure these are not connected...
