I've just discovered that my mk2a will almost always experience a "stuck jiffies" moment shortly after I've run rsync to pull down a bunch of files onto it. It always finishes the job and is sat at a shell prompt before freezing though.

I'll be applying the patch, and hammering on it a bit to see if it's truly gone away. Unfortunately, I'm off to Italy for a week, so I'll not get much chance.
