This problem sounds like <http://sourceware.org/PR2725>, and usually represents a latent kernel problem (in the kprobes or related APIs) rather than a bug in systemtap.
With newer kernels, the "perf probe" interface can be used to set kprobes at the same place where systemtap would place them, and the same sorts of hangs/crashes tend to occur. With older kernels such as 2.6.32, some more work is needed to test a systemtap-free configuration: git clone git://sourceware.org/git/systemtap.git cd systemtap/scripts/kprobes_test sh gen_code_all.sh insmod kprobe_module.ko <bang> - FChE -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
