/*             Linux kernel 2.2.14

Problem description:
 When accessing a file or directory with a very
 long  path the process  hangs in an unkillable
 state.  All  other  processes  are SEGFAULTing
 when  trying  to  access  unkillable  process'
 /proc entry.  So  system utilities ps, w, top,
 killall  and  the  like are stoppping working.
 Except that, the  system continues to function
 normally. The only solution is reboot.
