hi,

first the good news: compiles out of the box...
now the bad news: i've got a 1gb partition with xfs and my homedir
(something just under 1gb data). so first test is to copy the homedir to
the xfs filesystem... works great until the filesystem is about halfway
full. then nothing else happens. the cp is still in the process list but
sleeping and never woke up until i killed it (i waited roughly 5h) 
btw. as long as the cp was running kswapd was eating quite a bit of cpu
time, but hey... didn't crash so far ;-)

the snapshot i used was the tarball from the ftp-server and a following
cvs update (done today 2p.m. gmt)

anyone any ideas?
