I experienced the same problem recently. I notice that whenever I try to
access the DOC, the process [nftla] starts to use up all the cpu time.
Right now I am suspecting that it is the problem with the filesystem on
the DOC. Sometimes, after running e2fsck on my ext2 partition on the
DOC, the problem just goes away. I have this problem both in 2.4.22 and
2.4.17, both patched with mtd snapshots of different dates. Therefore, I
 think it is a problem with the mtd driver.

Any ideas are appreciated.
