I'll just chime in briefly. I contacted Jeremy off the list
about this issue a few days ago. I have one spare box i386
sitting here that I can happily test patches against; if I
can be of help, let me know.

Suffers from the description given by Jeremy: the box is not deadlocked
during snapshot but I might as well walk away from it because I can't
use it. I'd really like to see this get fixed; I rely on dump for
backups.
Regards,
Pat
