Under what I consider is very minor work loads Tux will, for apparently no reason, drop all of its threads and stop responding to requests.    I realize that the patch was not intended for this kernel version, but it is necessary in order for my SMP machine to work properly.

Did you use a patch that had been ported to 2.4.19?

When you patched, were there any error messages saying "Hunk #N Failed"
where N is an integer?

I've patched 2.4.21pre2 with tux, but I had to modify the patch in order
to make the patching successful.

Also, there have been numerous threads on-list regarding tux hanging
with logging enabled. Check the archives for that info, and try
disabling logging if you have it enabled.
