I have seen a hang in unmount, usually unmounting my root on my
laptop, but failed to reproduce it anywhere else. I also failed
to reproduce it without having the binary kernel module I have
to use to to get through SGI's firewall loaded. This last one
made me think it was actually something that module was doing.

Maybe its time to dig a little more.
