Assuming 2.4, I do not know of any. Everything I fixed was a
disconnect racing. OTOH if your write causes a disconnect,
that may at least fix the hang (won't fix the failed write).
It can be checked by running with 'echo 8 >/proc/sys/kernel/printk'
and on text VT. If there's a disconnect message, try the today's
update DaveJ mentioned. Otherwise, send me symptoms off-list.
I'll see what I can do about it.

SCT reported hard hangs when a camera lost power, I thought
these patches might help. I didn't hear from him in a while though.
