Not noticeably under 2.0.29; I went straight from there to 2.0.33 (with hangs) to 2.0.34-preX (with hangs). I've just applied Alan's tcpdebug patch to 2.0.34-pre-mumble; next hang I get I'll see if the tcpdebug gives anything useful and if not I'll build and boot 2.0.31 and try to pinpoint exactly which kernel this problem appeared in for me (binary search!). MTBF is around six days, so it could be a while before I get another hang.
I'm the one who saw a month of uptime while another Linux machine on the localnet was down, only to have a mysterious hang the day after it came back up; the other machine was running xntp, but I killed that last week and I got another hang last night. It's still suspicious (to me, at least) that my only uptime > 8 days was for a whole month that coincided with the only month that machine was down. I've been trying to play with the other machine some to see if I can make mine hang consistently, but no luck so far. It's running SMB, Linux-2.0.30, sshd. I'll keep investigating that front as well, but it could be pure coincidence.
