(sorry if this appears twice -- it apparently never got sent because of
the following)

Alpha PC164LX (PC164 config), egcs-1.1.1, 128M

I did a 'make MAKE="make -j5" boot' (I have 1 cpu) while watching with
vmstat and top. Much swapping and eventually the make failed (!) for some
reason I can't discover (subsequent make dep clean boot worked, and I have
yet to discover any missing files). Meanwhile the top froze in the D
state; alt-sysrq-t sez:

top 71 D fffffc000031e7d4 0 4049 1 6962 951
sig: 1 0000000000044103 0000000000000000 : X

Relevent System.map lines:

fffffc000031e700 T __up
fffffc000031e760 T __down
fffffc000031e8a0 T __down_interruptible

[I also tried to kill (both -15 and -9) the top.]
