Softupdates Hangs 2.8-current (src 13Jan01)

Hello,

I am runnning 2.8-current(cvs'd on Jan 13) and have softupdates enabled
in the kernel and have tunefs'd my disk. Everytime I try to untar a big
file(in this case qt-2.2.x), the system completely hangs. However the
machine still replies to pings, but X/console are frozen. There is a lot
of Disk activity and I did try to leave it like that for around 5 hours,
which resulted in nothing fruitful, so I had no choice but to
hard-reset, and then fsck in single user mode..

I have been to able to workaround this by disabling softupdates...

I would appreciate any hi.nts/advice and would be happy to provide
dmesg/kernel options/test patches etc. Please let me know for the same

Regards
