arla 0.3[89] on linux-2.6.11 severe problems.

[Klaus Robert Suetterlin]

I will look at arla-cli behaviour.

Running with active arla ``crashes'' the system after about an hour
of work.  All filesystem access is halted in kernel mode.  The
remaining system keeps going.  So I can ping, remote login (but not
start a shell), etc.  As we have to use the system for some work,
I cannot run in diagnostic mode all time.

For the remaining points I need more details from You, especially,
where to find and where to put the debug output.

What kind of naming or permission problem do You mean?
