Your test cases are interesting. The one that I find most bizarre is the
C case. It's the only case that involves a daemon communicating with a 
kernel driver (this case, the TAP driver), whose executable is not marked
UP *and* it doesn't incur hangs. The only diff between C and E is only the UP
flag of the FLTK console, and it's weird that only that change causes 
hangs, as the FLTK console process doesn't communicate with any driver.

Please test it without networking at all, so in case where the TAP 
driver is faulty on SMP, it doesn't gets in our way when we try to find 
the problem with coLinux.
