Thanks, Jerome. The kernel hang indeed seems to be fixed.

Regarding the last issue I reported. It still persists. The test program 
should eventually exit. Instead, it loops indefinitely (sorry, I was not 
clear when I called it 'app-side hang').

This is what's expected. The number of error messages can be random, but 
must be finite; the program must print "OK" at the end:

$ ./run.sh
