[LTP] read02 Hangs with tmpfs

[Howard B O. <ho...@ci...>]

On RHEL3, running the latest errata kernel, 2.4.21-15.0.4.ELsmp, and
with /tmp mounted as tmpfs, the read02
(ltp-full-20040804/testcases/kernel/syscalls/read/read02.c) test hangs
on the third test. The process stays in R state, and will not respond to
any signal. The attached C file "unwinds" the test case exercised by the
LTP code, and also exhibits the hang. With /tmp being normal storage,
both my code and read02.c return successfully.
