With 2.6.25-rc5-mm1, my system (Ubuntu 7.10/Gutsy) reliably hangs on
boot. Sysrq-T shows 12 "consolechars" processes stuck in do_exit call.

The bisection said "Sucker is
patches/signals-send_signal-factor-out-signal_group_exit-checks.patch"

Actually, it's 2.6.25-rc5-mm1 + add-warn_on_secs-macro-fix-fix.patch,
I guess this patch is innocent.
