How often does this condition occur? Trying to narrow down the patchset for the DUP, and hopefully this shouldn't be required. Laurie?
We had not hit this problem before but in RHEL6 Snapshot6, we see it instantaneously. The IO tests stalls almost immediately. The FIX is a one line change. Hope it can be added to RHEL6.0 (and RHEl5.6)
