Hoping for a little insight

[Justin Wojdacki]

Hopefully someone can lend a little insight into what I'm seeing:

I am trying to copy a largish file (well, relative to the flash size)
and after a variable point in the copy, "cp" goes to sleep and never
wakes up again.

My configuration:

Linux Kernel 2.4.16
MTD code as ships w/ above kernel
MIPS Architecture
ST 29W320DB Flash (4 MB)
JFFS2 File System
625000 Byte file (copy of compressed kernel)

I've noticed that a number of SIGHUP's are delivered during the copy,
but they stop about the same time the process is left permanently
asleep. 

Any suggestions/insight/etc?
