  I had similar problems. The root of all evil was ulimit in bash. After
compiling bash against the new glibc and kernel headers, all was O.K.
(the bad bash was instaled in kernel-2.2 times). So check if you have the
latest versions of kernel, glibc, e2fsprogs and bash (maybe others)
recompiled.

	Cheers,
