It's the cp command that locks up my system while it's running.

Does anyone else have that problem?  It's like all hardware with a lower
priority IRQ than USB won't work until it's done.  My USB mouse works
really slow, and my PS/2 keyboard is completely dead until the cp is
done.  It's really weird, because I can copy/paste characters into a
terminal window with the mouse while it's cp'ing, and the commands run
in the xterm, BUT the keyboard doesn't do anything until the cp is done.

I have a suspicion that it's a bug in my desktop kernel (Redhat 2.4.20).
