I forwarded an email to this list on Dec 12th concerning a bug in
User-Mode-Linux that made compressed cache not work. To be clear, with
compressed cache code this bug was triggered easier. And now it's
finally fixed and we can continue using UML for development.

Regarding the bug your pointed out, I'd like you to test 0.21pre5
version I released this week. The swapout path code was rewritten and
it's much simpler and efficient now. I tested the last code to trigger
this bug and couldn't make it hang. Neither could Livio. He tested
under UML yesterday and got disappointed that he couldn't make the
code crash. :-) In case you still have problems with the this newer
version, please let me know.
