14 I've noticed a few freezes during emerges on my system in the last week
15 or two.
16
17 The system is currently building x11-libs/qt-webkit-4.8.4 and has had a
18 series of freezes.
19
20 Portage: sys-apps/portage-2.1.11.31
21 Kernel: sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.4.9
22
23 dmesg produced an entry which may be related:
24 [ 8003.626681] hrtimer: interrupt took 4376464 ns
25
26 I haven't looked any further into the issue as yet, as I don't have the
27 time available.

29 While writing this email the system froze for 47 seconds with no new
30 kernel messages. :/
