I've also had problems with BackupPC backing up files in the proc
filesystem, though no lockups (I don't have any SMPs at the moment,
either). Here's an excerpt of a log file:

/bin/tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
This prevents any backups from happening. I've tried telling BackupPC
to not backup the proc or dev filesystems, since they're dynamic anyways
(at least when using DevFS), but it still backs them up, even after
using the method to get around the bug in 1.4.0. Any ideas on how to
tell it to skip them? Also, I just noticed this in the same logfile,
right after the /bin/tar: Error exit delayed... line:

Any idea what that is? Thanks in advance, and sorry for the long message.
