yes, no processes get ever deadlocked nor anything else in this area. The
whole system just does _nothing_ for an amount of time (1-15 seconds,
depends). _Sometimes_ (not always) even a ping is stoped for the amount of
time the machine does nothing but pausing.

Also not a hardware problem. I made this clear before reporting this bug.
Tested tons of different hardware, different drivers for the network card
etc.

I repeat this now for the $high_number'th time ;):
- 2.4.18 worked perfect
- 2.4.19-pre not

ciao, Marc
