hopefuly the patch would be in 2.4.19 when it comes out. Ask him to test
it out.

 ok , this 2 lines repated anything from 5 to 20 times cause the hang :

tc qdisc del dev eth0 ingress
tc qdisc add dev eth0 handle ffff: ingress

 again , the presence of sustained outgoing traffic catalyses the effect .
It takes at least 150-200 kbytes/sec to easily cause the hang .
