Sorry for coming late to the party. I've only just seen this thread, and ha= ve=20 had reports of it too. My concern is, shouldn't we be dealing with the cause rather than just one= =20 symptom (and as Pavel rightly wondered, assuming there aren't more)? I'm no= t=20 sure that I have a solution, but I think the point is worth raising again. Do we want something like adding the process's task struct to timer data, a= nd=20 get the timer code to delay firing timers for frozen processes?
