The ck3-aa patch has worked perfectly for me until I try to shut down. At
that point I get to "turning off swap" and the system hangs with the disk
light on. Can't get a dump, and it doesn't happen every time, but enough
that I am very cautious in what I do at shutdown. Total hang ignoring
sysreq.

local networks, one PPP over high speed serial.
