Comment (by warpme@…):

 Gavin,
 Thx for Your replay. Probably I wasn't clear enough in OP in this ticket.
 By attaching patch in this ticket I absolutely not aspire to provide
 solution. It is only workaround for my issue and attempt to demonstrate
 that issue might be app related - not OS or HW.


 I was trying hard to catch meaningful traces/logs - but hang nature (hard
 hang with frozen screen/kbd/mice/network) causes that I was forced to
 switch problem resolution from analyzing logs/traces to playing what-if
 with code.

 I disagree that my attempt of "Delaying in random unrelated places" is
 blind type of resolving issue as it has concrete hypothesis in mind +
 gives 2 positive aspects: 1\hides issue so I can use mythnews; 2\narrows
 code area where root cause might be. I was hoping it will helpful to solve
 issue by code audit by person well understanding code design - but I see I
 was wrong. No problem for me. After all - I can live with 500msec delay
 for every news feed.
 Currently I haven't idea how to get trace from hard locked diskless system
 where screen/kbd/mice/network are dead.
