+Summary: Experiencing hangs trying to do IO in 1.1.9
+
+This bug started happening in mono 1.1.9, and continues with 1.1.9.2.
+
+After running Beagle for a long time, it will eventually stop indexing
+data.  After the bug manifests itself, any mono app which is subsequently
+executed that tries to do IO hangs, including all of the beagle utilities
+and mcs.
+
+During a typical beagle run there are two processes running, each of which
+have one unix domain socket open, which responds to data sent to it.  One
+is the beagled and one is the index helper.  In this particular run (I
+don't know if it's every time or not), the index helper is the one that's
+hung.  Using socat to connect to the unix domain socket, sending messages
+to beagled is handled and a response is returned.  Nothing happens when
+contacting the index helper.
+
+This bug is being pretty widely reported by our users on IRC, and it seems
+to happen reliably for me, but it takes quite some time to happen.  In my
+particular run, it was on the 13th invocation of the index helper.  This
+index helper had itself been running for nearly 5 and a half minutes.  It
+had been about an hour and a half since the beagle daemon was started.  So
+distilling it down into a test case isn't really feasible.
+
+I'm attaching a few things:
+* The stack traces of the index helper, which is hung and not responding to
+requests
+
+* The strace output of an mcs run, which hangs.  All mono apps hang on the
+same semop(), although the files being opened vary from app to app.
