Bug Description

Binary package hint: lshw

Running the lshw command froze the system completely. I had to hard reset (not even REISUB worked).
I have yet to test if it's reproducible and if so if it happens on older kernels.
Here's a trace, hope it helps. Should I provide more info?

The freeze is reproducible on both 2.6.35-15 and 2.6.35-14 but not on 2.6.34.
P.S. REISUB works.
