Hmmm... nice workaround (I don't see any reason it won't work).

However, since it only hide the problem (and keep taxing the system)
I would go this route, only as part of an escalation scheme.

Each release should take us to the next stage, so we have hope to get
read of this stupidness in a year or two:
   1. msleep(5) to protect the guilty.
   2. msleep(5) + printk() to warn them.
   3. kill() + printk() to protect the public from the guilty  ;-)

[hmmm... 3 strikes? ]

Cheers,
