This is probably an LFS bug -- I'm currently running a MULTIPROCESSOR
Alpha kernel on yesterday's sources (don't get too excited, the scheduler
doesn't quite work on the second CPU yet :-), but that also means live
locks, and I'm not seeing any trouble... and have been doing heavy file
system activity.

Anyway, I suggest you file a bug report, and hopefully Konrad will run
a LOCKDEBUG kernel on his LFS devel machine :-)
